Desperately needed in our area ! Elderly have to wait for hours at times , at the hospital or Dr office to be picked up after an appointment.

Not only does Handi-dart not run after 4:00, meaning I couldn’t have a life ( for example, work past 4 pm, go for dinner or a movie!)I had to book two weeks in advance if I wanted to use the service! Do YOU know where you are meeting your friends two weeks from today for lunch? No? Me either!!!!

Signing because this winter too many seniors and persons with mobility challenges were housebound due to snow piled up against bus access so wheelchairs could not board buses while seniors could not climb over snow banks. Moreover, the downtown sidewalks were impossible to navigate a wheelchair. It is understandable for delays in sidewalk clearance the day of snowfall, but the sidewalks were dangerous and icy for weeks.

We should never restrict seniors there activities. They often feel they rely on family and friends to much and they just won't go out and miss out on group activities or very important appointments.

I have heard that before as well, I wonder why that is when we have heard of so many people saying they have to book 2 weeks in advance, sometimes they don't show up, or are very late.

I do think a 2nd Dart would be good but more ofren than not, when I've used the Dart, there are only 1 or 2 passengers at one time and the Dart can carry many more than that.
