Sure. I asked him about it. He just said that it just takes too long with the trolley and busses. He's not able to drive because of his vision. The trolley station is near where he lives and he doesn't have to take a connecting bus (which that part I would think is the worst) to get to my place because I can pick him up at the trolley station near me.
In a lot of ways, I don't blame him for feeling that way because he's old, though he can still travel, and has taken public transportation to see other people. I thought that he was OK with taking public transportation. His health just didn't deteriorate all of a sudden. He just decided that he doesn't want to do that anymore.
I'm not crazy about going to his place myself, but I do it anyways. I just think that it's nicer when he comes to see me because we have more privacy to talk. Plus it's nice for me not having to drive out, but I still have to drive out a little bit to pick him up.
There was a time when he was able to drive and he did come to my place. That was great, but even then he had a problem with it. The parking on my street is bad, but I could park my car on the street so that he can park in my space. But he had a motor home and it was too big for my space.
