Nana's Uber? Ridesharing for your grandma is a thing

Seniors currently have 'paratransit' to get around cities, but it is very expensive. Companies like Uber, Lyft, and Bridj have started working with transit agencies to create ridesharing for seniors. Uber offers UberWAV, a wheelchair-friendly service, and UberASSIST, which gives drivers disability- and senior-friendly training, in many American cities. The Massachusetts Bay Area Transportation Authority has a pilot partnership with Uber and Lyft, to lower prices. Those without smartphones can book through Lyft’s telephone service.
