AB> In Ontario the Ministry of Transportation funds great scads of money so the disabled person should be able to get reasonable transportation at fair prices. I had worked with the M.T.C. for many years and these fellows go out of their way, with much encouragement, and many incentives The problems, as I see them are with the local politicians, and the bureaucracies they set up so that the complaints of the disabled get lost. Transportation is everyone's right, and I would suggest your provincial or state representative, if you are not getting a good deal in transportation.
