Utilizing the Paratransit System

5/9/2014

paratransit
      I usually refer to our paratransit system as riding the 'Special Bus'. It's not really politically correct, but, those of us that use the system get more latitude.
      I wanted to get a ride to replace my glasses [Gus ate mine; that's another story]. I haven't used the special bus for 5 years. The last time I rode, the driver did not secure my chair properly. He hit the brakes and I face planted into the plexiglass behind the driver's seat. Bad day.
      Unfortunately, I discovered that my 'Membership Card' has expired. I called the transit company, and, must complete the applications for eligibility over again. My point is that I really took this  benefit for granted and assumed it would always be there. Gonna have to be more attentive from now on. It's NOT an entitlement, it's a gift...
      The down side is that the Penguins are in the playoffs and I can't see the puck very well without my glasses.
