I&#x27;d love to be able to use more public transit.  After all, I&#x27;m
blind, in case the username didn&#x27;t give away my secret.
However, my city does not offer bus service on nights and weekends,
and frequently places that I wish to go are not even served by the bus
system, even though they are definitely within my city.<p>I try to walk to as many places as I possibly can.  For the rest, if I&#x27;m
going somewhere during the day and it is reachable by bus, I do that.
Otherwise, I&#x27;m stuck taking a cab.
In reality, what this means is that I try to limit the things I do outside
of my home.  That&#x27;s kind of easy for an agoraphobic anti-consumerist nerd.
But still, I&#x27;m grateful for online shopping when I need it.<p>As an aside, the ideal city for a blind person in the United States is
Portland Oregon.  I don&#x27;t live too far from there, and I visit it
occasionally.  The Max is beautiful.  Portland has obviously made
a huge effort to provide great mass transit, and from what I saw, it was
very heavily used.
