If you use a wheelchair how do you find reliable transportation?
*edit* please don't comment about wheeltrans, my 10 year experience is in the post. I'm very happy it worked out for your friend/ grandparent/ niece. Please listen to people who actually use the service and rely on it
Today I'm missing another hospital appointment because booking 2 wheelchair taxis 24 hrs in advance spaced 15 minutes apart, while trying uber WAV and Lyft Wheelchair rides for an hour, is simply not enough for a disabled person to get an
accessible ride to an appointment.
While I was furiously refreshing Uber and Lyft, I thought to myself "there has to be a a better way to do this"
Wheeltrans is the least reliable, showing up ontime about 1 out of 5 trips. Many times I have been left "stranded"
So is there a better solution?
The taxi companies had no suggestions to prevent this. After years of nonstop repeated missed appointments and extreme stress around leaving my home while just trying to get to my medical appointments , I'm fucking tired.
