I am sorry, I missed the initial post but as it works here, they need a
days notice. They do severely take advantage financially of the
disabled. We have to pay twice the amount as the regular bus riders that
go to the stop and have to pay extra if we live more than a mile from the
closest bus station. That service hasnt always been here. We had
medical assistance transportation that was for people that were on medical
assistance and they need two days notice. The public transportation first led me
to believe it was for school and the doctors until I pushed forward. I
have posted about them before how they took advantage and treated me
badly. I ended up calling the director for the 3 counties of the
transportation department and found out a whole new big story. I
complained of one thing, then they picked on me for another until I went to the
top. It's like they were trying to make me miserable for complaining to
begin with. First I complained about being treated badly.
I had an eye appt at the wal mart 40 miles away because the one down the
street doesnt have an eye center and then had to go take an exam for an online
class I was taking in the same area. The driver though I was going down
the street. The person that takes the calls for my area said I told her I
was going to the wal mart around the corner and if I didn't have the money,
dont take me. After that, they tried to say I lived more than a mile from
a stop. I actually live 3/4 a mile from the stop. She said she
went by map quest. I did as well and got different results. After I
got that straight, I was getting forgotton. Not picked up or left waiting
long periods of time.
Thank God, I drive now and don't have to deal with them.
Keep on pushing them,
Stacy
