instead give them a city/state-run uber-for-wheelchairs service The San Jose area has that: "Paratransit". It was supposed to serve mobility-impaired people who have difficulty using buses (although all buses have lifts). As it turned out, they just let anybody ride who has the gall to call them. 90% of their trips amount to a taxpayer-subsidized cab service for the self-important. The award of the contract was suspect, too, and the subcontractor had to be dumped at great expense... just like the county's ambulance contract with Rural/Metro.
