[Blindtlk] What Do You Do when There's No Transportation?

[Cindy Handel]

Can you make your need known at the center and ask if there is someone else 
who can give you a ride for these two weekends?

Hey all,
I've been reading the discussion on Paratransit Vs. Fixed Routes, and
it got me thinking maybe you guys have some ideas...what do you do
when you can't afford to hire a driver, but neither public
transportation nor paratransit goes there?

I've been going to a Buddhist center here in Raleigh, getting a ride
with someone else who goes, but she can't always give me a ride (case
in point, she'll be out of twon the next two weekends). I want to be
there each weekend to help with the children's program, so I need
reliable transportation. However, I've found that there are no buses
that go to the center, and Paratransit will not get closer than 2
miles from it. It's within county limits, so how unfair is that...but
they said they will not go beyond a mile from a bus stop, and there is
not a bus stop within three miles. What would you do?
