On top of that, the number of older people and disabled people who came out to speak about how they are afraid that raising the Access-A-Ride fares will cut them off from living a normal life, or even from seeing their doctors, was downright heartbreaking.
That is breaking my heart and making me sad just thinking about it.
DC's transit system is pretty good (sure I complain -- especially because it closes pretty early!) but I guess I should be glad that we even have a good transit system...but seriously, that is breaking my heart. And the quotes -- wow.
We've had a lot of cases of Sexual Assault on our "Metro Access" which is a service for the elderly and disabled -- it is so sad. There are so many groups out there who are under-represented in these matters and honestly, those are the people who need these services, at an affordable price, the most.
