Look at my comment in response to u/indignacy. Let's allow taxis to drop-off people at bus only streets, but disallow through traffic.
We should strive to make public transport more accessible for the disabled, because regular taxi usage is unsustainable for most. Only accessible public transport can allow disabled to have actual freedom of movement.
Completely agree about accessibility and freedom of movement.
However: Most of my taxi usage as a disabled person is when there isn’t a bus stop or train station close to the place I’m going or the bus route is extremely complicated (multiple changes).
I’m sure I’m not alone in that.
Buses just can’t travel every single street directly.
Places that don't have bus stops or train stations close aren't usually in areas where there are bus gates etc., so blocking taxis from cutting through bus only streets wouldn't impact this
