Exactly what dial-a-ride is like depends on the funding level. If less
money was spent on retrofitting lifts to old tube stations, more could
be spent on dial-a-ride.



You know damn well that any money saved on making the Tube accessible
would *not* be diverted to dial-a-ride.

In any case, there would still be a heavy demand for dial-a-ride even
if the Tube was made fully accessible.

Thankfully, the Disability Discrimination Act goes some way to
ensuring that people with a very strong anti-disabled mindset have
absolutely no say in how the money is spent.
