How's this for fucked?

I can no longer afford the public transportation our county provides for the disabled.

Every year, they make us fill out a big long thing proving how disabled and po' we are, and this year instead of a bus pass we got a letter saying funding had been cut.

They followed that up with a letter saying that we now have to buy superexpensive bus passes that are ridiculous in their fine print and that no one can afford. You can buy a month pass, with a limited amount of one-way rides, for $100. You have to pay up front in cash and the pass is only good for that calendar month, nonreplacable if stolen or lost.

They also notified us that they are no longer leaving the immediate area, but if you are willing to fork over some extra cash they'll drop you off at another county's bus stop in a sort of questionable location. Great fun if you're alone in a wheelchair.

I predict a lot more shut-ins.
