[Ct-nfb] [FWD: Nutmeg Senior Rides]

Sun Feb 7 16:32:43 UTC 2016

Good morning 
Yes My Ride is the service provider for the area but it doesn't provide the services outlined. We are not permitted to make stops in route to anywhere, the only way to do this would be to make individual reservations as we all know can be very time consuming   Also the idea of the driver assisting with something like shopping is very helpful   While I am grateful for My Ride it just doesn't offer the same type of service.
