[Ct-nfb] Public Transport Discussion at the CT State Convention

[Cookiechumper at aol.com]

Hello and lots of luck to you in your presentation this weekend.  Our  main 
seravice Wheels is pretty good and the coast line is pretty ok, but the  
disability serice also public that is where a lot of work needs to be done.  
It is insane that these services can't do more.  For example I went to  
Bridgeport the other day and I had t take Norwalk Transit to the Stop & Shop  on 
the Post Rd East and then wait for Bridgeport Access and they do it within  
the hour times adn reverse to go home it was crazy.  The Bridgeport Access  
is not nearly as knowledgable as Norwalk Transit dispatchers.  YOu can go  
into one town on a service, but not go hme from it.  Also too there is  
nothing to help one later in the day like if you wanted to go to a seminar or  
special event at the Fairfield Library at 6pm you can't do it.  There is no  
other inexpensive services public that can do any assisting that is known.  
I was screwed on Friday comign back from DSS in Bridgeprot because I didn't 
 know that Westport service of Norwalk Transit stops at a different time 
then the  rest of the service and I had to get back to Westport and then my 
sister came  and got me, but was a serious headache.
 
Well those are my thoughts and I am sure there are others who are with me  
on this front.  Thank you for having a voice and let me know if and when I  
can assist you and help with speakign out about this topic as well.
 
God bless you and lots of luck.

Hello CT Federationists, 
This weekend I will be making a brief presentation based on  my thoughts 
and experiences regarding public transit. I would like to know  yours. Of 
course power has been out. I myself have only intermittent access to  the web; 
but I will do what I can to check my email. If you’d like to talk  over the 
phone, please send me a message and I’ll share my number asap. I’m  sure 
many if not most of us would appreciate it if you excluded the entire  mailing 
list when you respond to this message. 
Happy Day of the Dead, and happy snow man. 
Trevor
