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

[nikki Wunderlich]

Well, to make a well informed suggestion, we need some back ground
information such as is it safe to walk trom where the para transit would
drop you off to he center? Do you k?

Nikkinow the route you'd have to take, can you walk that far? 
And if it is not safe to walk from where the para transit would drop you off
to the center could some one pick you up from the stop

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?
