Hi Cindy,
Unfortunately Paratransit isn't known for timely service. People have been
dismissed from their jobs because of poor service from Paratransit.
My gusband used ! leave for working 1 hour and 45 minutes before he had to
be there to gunantee he would arrive on time.
Pickvat night could be three hours late.
He had to take a cab costing $27.50 one way a couple of times.
He even got picked up one hour early several times meaning 5-15 am for a 8
AM start time.
This was because there was no regular bus which he could use without
transferring three times and crossing a major highway and walking in an area
with no sidewalks.
Unfortunately sometimes you just have to make other arrangements because
Paratransit is notoriously late or not able to meet people's needs.
The rationale is that it is not a taxi and people can be on the bus for
over an hour.
Obviously, this won't work if Kyle needs to get to class on time.

> Wow Cindy that is crazy.  It is not Kyle's issue that she has to pick up
her grandsoneaonly that she is paid to pick Kyle up and drop him off as her
service!  I hope someone in the area can help you resolve this. They do
know his schedule and the door he comes out, and his correct pick up time,
right?   Does his pick up time allow JUST enough time to get back to school?
Is there anyway to adjust the time by 10 minutes so he has time to get out
side?  Have you talked to the supervisor about the driver's complaints,
leaving, or creating a problem for Kyle's class schedule and tried to find
out how to adjust it?  This is a "special service bus/ride" like Columbus
mainstream pick up and not the regular bus service, right?

> Kyle is doing his student teaching/practicum this quarter. He is in the
classroom until 11:10 each day. He is having problems with the bus arriving
more than 20 minutes early and expecting him to come right out. Last Friday
the bus was just beginning to pull out when he came out of the building. The
driver told him she was going to leave him and that she had made him late to
pick up her grandson. Today the driver did leave before he came out. His
pick up time is 11:15 and he came out right at 11:15. The driver said she
waited for 24 minutes for him. Now he won't be picked up until 12:15 and
this is going to cause him to miss his class at WSU. Has anyone else had
this problem in Dayton? How did you get it resolved?
