Bus service fails to help handicapped in Syracuse
Richard Palmer reports Stuck In The House Inc. says 11,000 ambulatory residents could shop downtown if transportation existed. Centro will add about 30 retrofitted buses, but the homebound disabled cannot use them. They require door-through-door service, not fixed routes, and Call-A-Bus remains curb-to-curb. The group urges improved transit access and questions funding for wheelchair wells on fixed routes.
