Percentages?

This post is dedicated to one of RantWoman's favorite angelic troublemakers who passed away in her sleep yesterday. It is going to take a lot of people to fill her advocacy shoes. RantWoman is humble about any pretension of trying.

RantWoman is just going to register data for awhile. Warning: lots of transit jargon. Cope.

Whenever ACCESS #paratransit comes up in conversation, there are some recurring themes:

1. How early compared to the pickup time created at the time the appointment was scheduled does ACCESS want to try to pick the passenger up the day of the appointment?

2. What are the odds that instead of a reasonably direct routing from A to B, say from the Rainier valley to South Lake Union will the passenger get from A to B via Federal Way, West Seattle?

3. extremely long trips when the delays are blamed on weather, traffic...

4. Why oh why if people want to get to work the same time every day is it not possible for ACCESS to schedule the same pickup window each day? People have lots of reasons not to be able to book a standing ride. Why is it so hard to maintain a consistent schedule?

Today's data points:

Item 1: 2 of the 3 people arriving by ACCESS for an event RantWoman organizes reported that ACCESS wanted to deliver them an hour before the event was due to start and they had to push back. RantWoman is annoyed. RantWoman is the one who unlocks the space. Rantwoman is not available when ACCESS wants to deliver the passengers. Enough said?

Item 2 above: happily no unplanned paratransit tourism to report today but everyone who came by ACCESS resonated with the concept based on past experience

Item 3: same as #2 above.

Item 4: complaint voiced today.

RantWoman would not mind the thought of less data to collect.
