Yusufv says "Someone who lives in a rural area with poor public transport links clearly will need to make use of taxis more frequently and thus will need more financial support." Well that's just as true for many sighted people. Not everyone is able to drive! And lets be honest those that live out in the wilds do so by choice, so need to take the disadvantages as well as the advantage blind or not blind. Anywayfar better to campaign for better public transport.
