[Nfbc-info] Ride sharing services San Francisco bay area

Fri Aug 25 12:27:36 UTC 2017

Good Morning,
There is a new service called arrive rides.  You can sign up and then when
you need a ride, you can call and they get Uber or Lift.  They also monitor
the drivers until they drop off the passenger.  I use the service a lot and
find it really wonderful.
