In support of taxi-based community lifeline
11:49am Saturday 31st July 2010 in
I WAS pleased to read that taxi companies may support their community in providing a lifeline to those who find getting a bus at certain times difficult (July 29).
I hope this idea is successful and many of these wheelchair-friendly mini bus taxis will be using their skills to provide the extra cover when public transport does occasionally fail.
The big question will be the pensioners’ pass: might we have to forgo this concession to have this valuable additional support? I think it would be ideal in Ryedale and East Yorkshire, as some in those areas have no transport at all and can be a long walk to the nearest bus for many, especially in winter and in inclement weather.
