In an otherwise grim report about service cuts in NYC public transportation, I learned this shocking fact:
"Handicapped riders who are now picked up at home and driven to destinations throughout the city would no longer be able to use the so-called door-to-door service under the plan. Instead, the authority would transport disabled riders to handicapped-accessible subway and bus stops, which is the minimum service required by federal law."
What the F have we been doing all this time?! Picking people up from their house and driving them to their destinations? That's not public transportation! It's private transportation!!! I am outraged that my taxpayer dollars have been used in this manner. Thank goodness for budget cuts so that we can now get back to a saner system.
