However, Ambulance services are publically owned here, yet most are privatly owned in the states (I hear.. anyone got some real facts for me?). The only thing I see that would keep private company from operating a Disabled transportation service is the cost. I can't see how such a service could be provided for under a few bucks without some megga-funding or something . One thing which I think helps our Handi-Bus out is that most of the 'busses' (big huge white Vans) are donated by some group or company who then get their names on the outside of the van... on a larger scale that sort of thing could help a private company. ~ <*Lana*> ~ # Origin: The Point Of No Return: Calgary, Alberta (201:5500/55.4) To respond netmail, use FSC-0038 DOMAIN lines or as 1st line of msg use: @DOMAIN METRONET 201:5500/55.4 === FNPGate 2.50 Release -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!104!424!Lana.Berrington Internet: Lana.Berrington@f424.n104.z1.fidonet.org
