Dear Editor,
Suffolk County Accessible Transportation (SCAT) for the disabled provides transportations for residents for medical care, employment, and other essential needs, but patients and employees are seriously harmed when scheduled transportation services are denied to them by public officials and managers take the contemptuous and despicable attitude of “so what” and “what are you going to do about it?”
They take regular street buses out of service that run hourly on Saturday and passengers wait two hours for the next scheduled bus with no certainty and no toilets, along with insults and contempt.
The scheduled trip is at 5:00a.m. but they allow themselves thirty minutes for the 5:00a.m. trip. That is not considered late, but they might arrive another thirty or sixty minutes later and say “so what, what are you going to do about it?
I get paid to do this job, not you.”
There is no passenger representative and complaints to the County Executive are futile.
No officials are available and will never be available – nor at SCAT either.
Politicians want President Biden removed because the public might vote against him. Stick it to them, Joe! We’re all going down the tubes together. We care only about ourselves and nothing and no one else.
“So what? What are you going to do about it?”
