The countryside should have better links much of the countryside is a chicken egg situation. I am sure the town with 50 people is a fringe issue, which I have no solution for other than better designing the town so you don't have to drive if you are shopping locally if needed.
Well the farmer can keep his vehicle to transport his produce into towns, go to farmers markets etc. I have no qualms for that.
Shift workers in smaller cities should be able to get a bus. Should.
You got me on people with disabilities. I did not think about that, but that does go two ways some people with disabilities can't drive and with public transport the way it is they basically get stuck where they are.
That one is kind of the point of this place a load of people pissed off that car centricity has caused it to be the only viable option.
