What's really saddening is that this isn't the first time this sort of thing has happened to me. I've noticed quite often that people have no clue whatsoever how to access their own office via public transit, much less such things as convention venues. And half the time, the things I'm trying to find out about are things that could actually be relevant for poor people, people with disabilities, etc.
And in my experience, the people behind these things generally don't even think about such issues until it's brought up to them. It's like the concept of people who can't afford to drive, or who can't drive because of a disability, doesn't even occur to them.
