Donna; thanks for your message, you made me think.  Half fare, and
all the subjects we're speaking about in this topic are, at least in
my opinion, a matter of conscience as we have to live with whatever
we decide is best for us.  Your situation is different than mine, as
I do not have to deal with any other concerns except getting where I
need to go.  I understand why you would not want to take the bus if
you're having seizures, although I cannot put myself in that
position as I am not in your shoes.  I do, however, feel the half
fare should be based on economics, rather than on the fact that an
individual happens to be blind.  I know a lot of people disagree
with me on this subject, but I respect everyone here, and we all
have a right to our own opinions.  Thank you for responding to my
message, and I look forward to many more from you in the future,
Beth.
