    I'm sorry to hear that Connie. The public transit in Indy also goes begging for money yearly despite the many people
    who depend on it for getting around to work or shopping, etc. Somehow after much fuss every year, the transit gets the money
    and peace reigns again. Could your brother help in finding a good used car so you'll be able to go shopping when needed?
    Prayers going out for a solution to the problem soon.

    Another idea is, call the clergy at all your local churches and ask them to also weigh in on the subject in the media. Public transportation cuts disproportionally affect the elderly, the disabled and the poor - all constituents pastors, priest and rabbis deal with, and want to help.

    That's a good idea Karen.

    Lizbud, I'm not sure I can even still drive a car. my health is so much worse than it was 6 years ago and I had trouble then. I won't get behind a wheel unless I am absolutley sure it would be safe for not only me but everyone else on the road I'd pass. My brother is having major problems of hi own right now so can't help out. Or maybe get a lawmower with a tiny cart behind it to drive down the roads to get groceries. Believe it or not, there are some poor fellows who do that.

    I am hoping that letter to the editor will stir some people up too.
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

    I understand the health issues. I ain't gettin any younger myself. I hope your letter & hopefully others, will spur some positive action.
    We can pray until then.

    Prayers for you, Connie, and all the other citizens in your area who depend on the buses completely for transport both routine and emergency. May the letter writing and calling of officials lead to public pressure for action on this vital matter.
