Dial-A-Ride is a flexible transportation service designed to help individuals who may have difficulty using traditional public transit. It allows passengers to request rides on-demand, often through a phone call or mobile app, providing door-to-door service. This is especially beneficial for seniors, people with disabilities, or those without access to a vehicle. The service typically operates within a specific area and may require advance booking. Dial-A-Ride programs are often managed by local transit authorities or non-profit organizations, aiming to enhance mobility and independence for those in need of transportation assistance.
