>Why can't the elderly walk to the bus? Have their legs fell off?
Please tone down a bit? They sure may have problem in walking maybe a mile or so to reach their destination. Buses aren't dropping them right in front of home.
I agree the parents tone was pretty bad but I agree with him to an extent. Most elderly people are fitter than you'd realise. I think the grand parent comment was wrong to stereotype them all as unable to walk 1 mile. e.g. surely an elderly person going to the mall to walk around shops can walk 1 mile to a bus stop?
