I know one of my neighbors uses this to get to appointments.[/quote]

Thank you PP, but my mom doesn't feel safe nor do I feel safe having her take in the Ride-On bus. She doesn't need or qualify for subsidized transportation - finances are not an issue, so the Call-n-Ride service really should be reserved for those who cannot afford to pay, and the Metro Access service is for disabled. My mom is very able-bodied. She is active, and cognitively 100% there. She just no longer feels comfortable driving on roads with so many aggressive drivers.  thanks again.[/quote]

Interesting that you think ride-on is unsafe but uber is a super safe alternative.[/quote]

DP. My guess is she doesn't feel safe with either. I know my dad doesn't feel safe in Uber, more regarding living alone and not wanting drivers to know that, especially when bringing him home.

Excited to read that Uber (now?) has a feature where I could be notified and track the car if my dad chooses to do this. It might give him peace of mind.[/quote]
