Letter to the Editor:
I have been a driver for Shalom Taxi for over 3 years. During that time, I have made numerous friends with my riders. These seniors have no other way to get to doctors' appointments, shopping, and getting to social events at temples and the JCC. They all have expressed such disappointment that this wonderful and vital service has been terminated. This service has been provided for many, many years. It was so sad telling these wonderful seniors that they will not have this service any longer. Yes, they only pay $5.00 per ride, and it is a money losing operation, BUT sometimes it is worth the expense to provide such a worthwhile service.
I am putting this out there in the hope someone will see the benefit of this vital service and underwrite and support and continue to provide this service to our wonderful seniors.
