Daily Photo Theme Day: Taxis
Today's City Daily Photo theme is "taxis." Since Stayton is too small to have actual taxis, my photo is of the CARTS (Chemeketa Area Regional Transport System), which provides a dial-a-ride service for Stayton and nearby Sublimity. It's mainly for "transportation disadvantaged" folks, but anyone can use it to go to the grocery store, bank, the doctor, etc., or whenever one needs to go in town. It runs on week days, and costs only a dollar each way.
44 Daily Photo sites are participating in the 1st October theme, please use the links to below to visit them.
Due to time zone differences and other factors, the theme photo may not be displayed until later if you are viewing early in the day.

Cool to feature this local form of taxi! So many folks, especially the elderly who no longer drive, rely on these to get to shopping and appointments. When I was a kid my mom called these "jitneys."

Now that's a different taxi, well done indeed. Yes 'cool' seems to be a good word!
wwooww, is the biggest "taxi" I've seen today. Thanx for including my blog!!!! You are so kind.
Greetings from Perú
irregarless of how far you travel its 1dollar ? that's cool , thanks! for sharing
Fascinating to see the differnet ways transport adapts to the surroundings. And there I was thinking everyone in the US owned a car! ;-)
And in the U.S you are much more adapted to the handicapped than we are in Europe. These taxis would get stuck in the streets of Paris I can tell you!
they look cool
Actually, this is a very important taxi!
So glad to see that your town has access for the elderly. I'm not there yet, but...
it would be great to retire in your town. so elderly friendly.
BIG CAB! I too come from a small place where cabs are not so common.
Thanks!
Interesting. thanks for sharing! I'd say the same thing as Eric...this too will stuck in Jakarta roads! :)
Sublimity!
Now who wouldn't want a ride to Sublimity!!!
When my dad was very immobile he relied on community volunteer drivers to get to medical appts, and I think Mum will be soon for shopping etc. A very important service.
