For awhile, we were using city busses. They would bring 2 busses out to carry all our w/c, do most of the loading for us, drop us off at the door (no parking hassle), and pick us up after. They did all that for the standard senior ticket price of 50 cents each way. There were some problems too...sometimes they did not get back when they said they would so our residents might be waiting outside for them for a half hour or so.
