The Coalition to Augment the Bus System (CABS) is a transportation program designed to provide affordable and convenient transportation options for older adults. With a flat rate of $5 for a one-way trip, CABS offers rides via bus, train, and van. To utilize this service, riders must schedule their trips a few days in advance, allowing for efficient coordination of shared rides to ensure everyone reaches their destinations on time. Payments for CABS can be made by check or in cash, giving riders flexibility in how they choose to pay for their transportation needs. When booking a ride through CABS, it is important to consider the Rides In Advance feature, which allows older adults to arrange for curb-to-curb transportation, enhancing their accessibility to essential destinations such as medical appointments, grocery stores, and community centers. By leveraging the services provided by CABS, older adults can enjoy a reliable and accessible transportation option that supports their independence and mobility in their community.
