The conclusion that “seniors less likely to take transit” is dubious. The study found people over 60 were less likely to have used transit 5 days in the previous week. Retired people are much less likely to need to travel by vehicle at all 5 days a week, especially in walkable areas where transit is most competitive with the automobile.
Thank goodness we have someone with deep pockets suing Walmart for it violating trucking rules(if the did, but from other truckers that I know trucking firms keep a tight control over schedules).
