DR Elmore, I'm sorry your rides went so poorly. Mine have been pretty hit-or-miss. I'm still looking for a solution. What I did when I was going to the eye clinic at UCLA was to take a cab there because it was my best option for being on time, then I'd take a bus home. Lots of buses near the clinic and, of course, much cheaper. If it took longer, so be it. Unfortunately, that approach no longer works for me now that I'm with Cedars-Sinai.
