Where is the worst place you have been in terms of being able to getting around the place?

In China from 2014 until 2016. No taxi drivers understood English or hotel cards written in CHinese, and often threw you out of the taxi. When DIDI(like UBER) in English became an app, it was a life changer.
 
Disneyworld. They started with a blank slate. No excuse for how hard and time consuming it is to get from A to B there.
 

Manchester was a nightmare
Manchester is great. I was impressed with how easy the train system was to use, and well it was linked with everywhere I needed to go including the airport.

I agree. And when we went in 2018 they were experimenting with the Express Bus system. Cost $29 a person extra for the week. They took you from inside one park to inside another park, so you didn't have to go through security. I live DL and CA where you literally can walk from one part to another in minutes. We actually went from riding Splash Mountain in DL to riding Grizzly Flats in less than 15 minutes, and back to our hotel room at Grand California to get into dry clothing in less than an hour.
 
Probably more about my own situation, but where I didn't have access to a car or good public transportation. I had a job interview in Boston once where my only transportation was the car service that the company paid for. Sent me right to the hotel, then to the interview sites (although one of the interviewers drove me to another site), and then straight to the airport. Felt really weird because I didn't have any means to get anywhere. I've had interviews where I had a rental car, and that gave me a certain amount of freedom. I've even had interviews in areas where I was specifically given an early flight and car rental so I could get a feel for the area.

I'm also thinking of the time we were visiting friends living in the suburbs of Philadelphia. We arrived via Amtrak and then waited for a ride from them to their home. But we weren't staying with them and got a ride from them to our hotel a few miles away from where they lived. But then we paid for a ride to a train station to get back to NYC for our flight home. But while we were there we needed some stuff and it was horrendous. We needed some stuff and there was a supermarket a couple of blocks away. But that was the absolutely worst place I've ever seen for pedestrians. Zero sidewalks (maybe some odd foot trails) and there were barely any crosswalks. I ran across the street when the light turned green but in the back of my mind I was risking my life.
