Paratransit blues
I like MassTransit. I’m glad I live in a community where I can take the bus or the Paratransit to most places I need to go. However, today was not the Paratransit’s best day. Usually, I don’t mind if they’re late to pick me up from poetry group because it usually lasts longer than the time I’ve allotted so I’m always stuck leaving early. Today, however, we only had eight readers so group ended earlier than usual. Bad day for the van service to get lost. Worst day for the van service to forget to pick up someone, poor person. Even worse than that they had to drop someone else off before I could go home. I didn’t get home until 10:44pm. That’s about 45 minutes later than I usually get home from group. I didn’t eat before I went because they said they needed to pick me up at 4:30pm which is about an hour earlier than they usually pick me up and not the time I had asked for due to my PCA schedule. I would say, overall, that this is the worst van service day I’ve had in six months. I hope tomorrow goes better.
