There's also the good old reliable cabs. Granted, may not be the
cheapest, but that might also depend on how far you have to go and how
often. If it's once a week and there's nothing else available, then
cabs might be a good option. Have you checked with other people at
mass to see if someone there might be able to take you to and from?

Good luck,
Wayne
