He's asking about transportation options for people who don't drive, period. Not "don't drive cars but can drive other things." Suggesting a golf cart or e-bike to a blind person is - just not nice. But we don't know WHY he isn't a driver. We know only that he isn't one, and that should be enough information to recommend, or not recommend, any transportation options that involve "someone else doing the driving."

I think all of the available options have been noted and additionally the golf car and bike recommendations were added, this should not put him or her on the defensive. A trike of example may not have been something he though about and it just might fit his lifestyle, who knows. He or she received a lot of good replies in addition to the limited public transportation that is available here.
