[blindLaw] Commuting from Outside the City

[Deepa Goraya]

I would recommend either using rideshare services like Uber and Lyft or hiring a driver. I hired a driver when I used to intern in downtown Los Angeles and had to commute by driving and  there were no rideshare services  back then.

You may just have to tolerate a long commute or put your safety at risk. From my perspective, the former is much preferable to the latter. Depending on salary and whether the employer reimburses for transportation under any circumstances, taking an Uber either all the way in or at least to a bus stop is an option. What city are you moving to?

At the moment we are living in a small town where I can walk to work, but soon I will be working in a larger city. We were hoping to find housing in an area where I could either walk or take a short bus ride, but the areas where that is possible are not safe. Unfortunately farther out it is very difficult to find anything that connects to a bus line and provides for a reasonable commute time. Are there other alternatives people have found in situations like these? Buses are by and large the only option—there is paratransit, but its timing is likely not reliable enough that commuting exclusively with it would work.
