Many senior buses and shuttles provide direct access to senior centers and other places where seniors can gather to interact and socialize, participate in recreational activities and receive free meals.
Providing senior citizens with a way to get to and from doctor's appointments, pharmacies, grocery stores, shopping centers, and other destinations can greatly improve their quality of life. Reliable access to health care can also reduce the risk of developing serious problems as a result of untreated conditions.
Many senior busing services offer free or reduced fares, saving seniors the expense of having to purchase a monthly city bus pass or pay for bus fare every time that they ride.
