Two examples from recent experience: My pickup was late which is not unusual, when he got here he did not speak any English. He spoke Chinese, yes and no. He was in a regular car and until he showed me his pass that said Access-A-Ride, I was not sure who he was.
Only by pointing straight, left or right and over the Marine Parkway Bridge did I get to my destination. When I called, I was told that my ride had been outsourced to a private company. They connected me to the company where I was told that they were supposed to pick me up but they did not have a car for me! The arrangements for this trip were made two days before the ride was needed. I had to call the doctor and cancel the appointment. Two hours later, I received a phone call telling me they had a car for me.
One last thing. If you are in a private car instead of an Access-A-Ride van and have to go over a bridge such as Marine Parkway to Rockaway, they make you pay the toll or they will go on the parkway all the way to Far Rockaway to get to Rockaway Beach.
Something has to be done. ICE is doing its job. If you want to put a slant on things, the proper forum would be in your editorials, not actual news reportage. Your founder, Joseph M. Patterson, must be spinning in his grave.
