? Depending On The Distance Walking, And Is Understandable For The Ones That Can't And May Be A Problem, Does It Bother You To Get To It?

I'm curious, but at first when I gave up my driver's license, I thought it may be of a prob for me, but I'll look for or ask for one if it's really far, but since giving up my driver's license I use the bus on occasion, but I usually do ok with me walking to my destination, within I'd say 5 miles max, and don't mind doing, what are your thoughts?

When I was working before, I got my licence I would walk it was a 30 min walk but I was used to it. If I can't drive these days, I get an Uber.

I live in a relatively small town at first after I had to give up my license when they put me on disability I took a cab to wherever I had to go unless it was to the store I had transportation there and my pharmacy. Taking a cab was nice seeing I could get out and kinda be independent without having to have people chuffer me here and there but it starts to add up . I've always had to live where it the cheapest so pretty much everywhere is relatively far mostly every happening downtown so ill walk or ride my bike a good 8 miles one way or walk 4 miles so I've been doing that for years now and my knees have now gone. I live in Michigan so ill be at home 99% of the time during the winter months just going outside across the street to my hospital and pharmacy and getting a ride from my brother or son to my neurologist in Grand rapids.

On nice days outside , I would go on walks . Usually around midnight . But when it starts getting cold and starts snowing , I start hibernating inside . But , if we need to
run errands or other plans, I will leave my hibernation..

Hey, Look into the alternative public transit. Ones sponsored by the city. I just got an ACCess pass which allows me free transit almost everywhere in Southern CA. on the Bus. They have their own system. You have to book ahead of time etc, . No money on bus fare !!!!! Take care eric thom3
