Well one time I got dumped off in the wrong section of town. The driver said
"its the square." Fortunately, a shirt-tail relative had a store in the area
so I got dirrections to his store and asked him to call my Mom to come get
me.Now had I had the gps on that bus, I'd have pushed the buzzer like
anybody else and that would have been the end of it.
But this was 1972 and gps's for anyone had not been heard of and if you knew
how to operate a computer, well it was assumed you had your PH D. from M. I.
T.
Ok I miss my gps. I'll be extremely glad to start using it again.

Hi all,
Yes, it is helpful that way. I was only dropped off twice at the
wrong location by my paratransit. It is indeed scary. That's why the
GPS helps, and also why I always, always, always, confirm with
drivers, "Is this 173 Edgewood?" People may think you're cracked for
asking all the time, but I'd rather ask than be dumped someplace
weird.
