Haven't been able to drive since 1994 (injury) and live in a rural area. I ride our local transit. When I first started riding it was a small operation. When I went to town I had to stay all day....The local transit has really expanded now. Michigan Ogemaw transit is great!!! I do my medical appts and my shopping using transit. I have to ask for rides from friends for out of the area appts, but really try not to ask for rides. Fabric stores are far away...one quilt shop that I can't afford and Walmarts. It was really hard to stop driving and I still miss it...but I manage. I didn't even know we had county transit until I had been hurt, now they are my life line.
