This is a huge problem. When I lived in Austin tx, a huge city there was limited rides for seniors and most of the volunteers were seniors themselves. Thankfully my insurance had a service that gave rides to and from appointments. I moved back to my home state now where my daughter and several relatives live. So far tho I've only had one procedure that I needed a ride to. A huge change from when I was basicly alone and went to a spinal fusion with nobody there. Recovery was lonely.
