I have gotten so many covid tests in the past two years. Some of them are drive thru only but most don't care either way. In DTLA proper the testing centers are mostly for pedestrians.

Consider the possibility that your experiences aren't universal. I cited specific examples of people having trouble getting tested without a car.

    Services only being available for the middle class car owners is hardly something that has been dealt with in the US. But you would never recognize it if you drive your own car and never had to deal with taking public transit to live your daily life.

      I literally walked by a testing center in LA two days ago that was for pedestrians but please continue making assumptions about what I know. I spent YEARS taking public transportation in Philadelphia and you know what? It sucked massive donkey balls. This is why I bought a house in the suburbs. Public transportation is for the poors (and New Yorkers I guess). Sorry not sorry.
