Should the 'other parent' bring the child to the other parent if that parent can't pick the child up for visitation?

If the parent's car is broken and is awaiting repairs, I don't see why a compromise can not be reached. It would be reasonable for the parent to drive the child to the parent with the broken car. Items break and accidents happen. People must work around them without complaining about what can not be changed.

I think so - yeah, seems annoying, but ultimately you need to put the needs and welfare of the child first. Such is life.
I'll never forget - one Christmas day my best friend and her sister had to spend the day catching trains from one parents house to the other (decent trip) because the parents couldn't agree on who should be driving them on Christmas Day. Pathetic I think. My poor friend.Like (1)

It certainly would be nice to make concessions for the sake of the child. The situation may be reversed one of these days.

This is a one-off deal, right? If you don't want to do it, then don't, but you may find yourself in the a similar pickle sometime in the future and your ex may not be so accommodating, that's all.

I think that the law requires that a custodial parent meet the noncustodial parent halfway for the exchange. But I've never heard that anyone is required to deliver a child to a noncustodial parent to enable visitation. Whether the custodial parent "should" do that or not...I suppose it depends on the circumstances.

If you and the other parent are at odds and generally not civil to one another, then I could see how the other person would be unwilling to do any favors. As to whether he should...it's hard to say really. I don't know your history or anything like that. Or how far he'd have to drive or his schedule, etc.

No. I wouldn't. It's the other parents responsibility no matter how the friend of the court may see it. What if it had to do with getting to work for example?

if it was me...i'd be keeping my child happiness foremost in mind, i'd do what it took. There's a difference between can't and won't. If it was won't...i'd be chewing off his ear.
