And public transport is considered when talking about food deserts.
That’s why I here in Finland definitely don’t live in one as there’s practically 247 buses going to hypermarkets that are 247. And that transport is made incredibly easily available to me, you can get support for a bus ticket from the government. Which again is why I’m not counted as having a hard time to access supermarkets.
But if there’s some ghetto where you first have to walk a kilometre or two to even get on the public transport route, then you have to pay for 5 dollars a way and it only goes there and back every four hours. What is say, a single mother to do in a situation like that? (Here they would be allowed on the bus for free btw, anyone with a children’s carriage is.)
I live in a city with literally one of the best public transports in the world. (#1 in BEST study 2024) So I, personally don’t live in a food desert. Does that make me think they don’t exist? No, because I’m capable of reading and empathy.
