I just found out my local company has changed their name to Ability Van Rentals. Just in case anybody needs to rent a van in Ohio, their website is www.abilityvanrentals.com. I noticed they weren't listed in this article.

I was just writing about this in my blog, how the "handi-transit" companies are funded by the city, and all of the problems that leads to. It is a problem because their funding is automatic no matter how poorly they perform. Give it a read at treadmarkz.wordpress.com/.../public-transportation-woes and let me hear your take on the issue.

The Metro in Los Angeles, California, does'nt allow for wheelchair people. The drivers will either refuse to pick them up or state the the lift is "out of Order" and wait for the next bus. I even had a friend who was mistreated on the bus by the driver. He reported to Metro people but got no where with them. The Drivers of these buses need to be educated in dealing with the disabled
