The matter isn't done yet, I could have sworn I heard on the radio that this matter will be reviwed.I can't see how they can improve SCAT's scheduling as they schedule pick ups after riders make resavations. Also SCAT is going to be implementing new policy's next month that deal with excessive no-shows and a short time period to make resavations. I don't get how Legis. Schneiderman was so gun ho to raise the fares on fixed routes yet he doesn't want to raise it for SCAT. I mean not all disabled people ride SCAT. What they should do is raise the fare and get rid of the 3/4th of a mile rule, because currenly, a disabled person could be spending nearly 4.00's a day to get from point A to point B anyway. (Rules say that a SCAT rider can be dropped off at a ST stop if the route is close to their end point or something like that. So $.75 Cent on Fixed route + $3.00 is $3.75) |
