What is the solution then? The problem is probably more that there aren’t enough pharmacists to run 24/7 pharmacies within walking distance of everyone in a city.
Also even cities with great public transport infrastructure have a spotty night schedule or don’t even have one at all. Like even in Tokyo you can get stranded if you miss the last bus/train and then you have to wait till the morning or call a taxi
This situation would have happened in any city , walkable or not, unless you live near a pharmacy that is open at night.
I could rant for ages about the state of public health in my country, but this is not the community for that.
There are a lot of things to be improved on the area of public transportation.
The night routes are not enough, it's not like the buses are empty. Also, if the metro operated during the night this would have been a 15min trip. Remember autopilot is a thing, night routes shouldn't be an issue for metro lines.
The bike infrastructure is non existent, a good bike path would make the time to get there about the same as driving a car.
Last but not least, the problem still stands and escalating an issue as simple as picking up a medicine increases the burden on the already overloaded health services.
piloting isn't the issue, it's the cost of running a metro line when (almost) noone uses it
