I mean it's not like we're talking haute cuisine here. Any place that sells bread can also put some fresh ingredients on said bread and sell a perfectly fine sandwich. And at the price level you'd pay at subway, you would have a very good sandwich for that.
What a poverty if you live in an area that doesn't even provide such basic service...
Near where I work, there is an Italian restaurant that does decent subs, but they charge $6 for a 6-inch sub. There are no bakeries within walking distance. I think part of the issue is that here, many bakeries are bakeries only. They do breads, cakes, pies, etc. They do not dabble in lunch-type foods. If you want lunch-type foods, you need to go to a deli, and those usually do not bake their own bread.
