Hi MoFF, Reading about your transportation problems made me think a bit. You might want to consider contacting someone at the address below about getting help with this deplorable situation. Should you contact them and they say they can't help, be sure to ask if they know who can:

Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services
New England Building
503 S. Kansas Ave

I agree with this tact. I think you need to take things to a more regulated source. We have a service in MD called MTA Mobility if you'd like to look up and compare services. I believe they have 24 hour notice as well, but the other restrictions I think are too stringent. It just might give you leverage to have info from comparable services. Good luck!

Thanks everyone! After chatting with my favorite bus driver, the one who was rehired, I am hoping things might get better. He said he has been talking to Boss Man and seems to think he is really trying to do a good job but just wants everything done his way. So, I will wait a while.

When I asked if they had decided on how many tote bags we could fill at a run, he told me it's still a work in progress. The entire thing is a work in progress he said. It's more the not being able to take my cats to the vet and go with them, and the problems with scheduling a return home time in advance and the cost, that has me most bummed out. Well, plus it's a pain in the rear trying to get things I need home.

I have a nice young guy (ok he's two years younger than me) coming to get a list of the canned goods I want to stock up on and things on Wednesday like potatoes and sugar. Those are hard for me to get home on the bus unless I just need a can or two. Too heavy for me to carry in a tote bag. He has several others he shops for. I just hate having to rely on someone else to shop for me. sigh

I was expecting part of my Walmart shipment to come today. The tracking said it was picked up by Fed Ex. It was supposed to come today but it's after 4 now so I expect it won't come now until Monday. It's just these little things all add up and irk me no end when it was so much easier to just be able to go myself and bring it home.
