For example, unlike airport taxis and shuttles, when we drive you to the airport, we help you with your luggage, and ensure that you check in ok and receive your boarding pass before we wish you bon voyage.

Due to the lack of safe, reliable transportation, many seniors in the city, suburbs and rural communities are stranded at home. Unlike most transportation services in Ottawa, Seniors Solution is not limited to urban areas. Nor do we operate only at peak hours. Instead, we are there when you need us most. Because we cater specifically to the needs of seniors, you can be rest assured that you’ll always have a ride home with us. Oh, and we’re pet friendly too!
In our fast-paced world, few people seem to have the patience and expertise required to deal appropriately and sensitively with seniors’ issues. Frankly, many people are ignorant of the challenges that seniors, particularly elderly seniors, face on a day-to-day basis. Seniors Solution exclusive companion service ensures that seniors are free from these forms of neglect and abuse.
But before explaining to you why Seniors Solution is a better (perhaps the best) option for you or your loved one, let’s look at some facts…
In a 2005 United Way Report on Ottawa-Area Seniors, 48% of all seniors rated Ottawa’s public transportation system as bad. In addition, seniors in rural areas were almost three times more likely to experience transportation problems than those in the city. More worrying still, the study found that some seniors were afraid to go out after dark, 61% in their own neighborhood.
A recent Ottawa Seniors’ Transportation Forum identified more than 30 flaws in the public transportation system. But identifying flaws is always easier than fixing them. For instance, in May 2007, CBC reported that OC Transpo was still trying to address seniors' concerns about buses that lurch forward suddenly from a stop. As accessible transit specialist Kathy Riley observed, "Some of the seniors are fearful of taking the bus… because they don't want to fall."
Do you want to put your safety, or the safety of someone you love in the hands of people you don’t know or trust?
Of course not, but safety was only one of many concerns raised by Ottawa seniors. Read rest of report by the Public Health Agency of Canada.

As we age, we often suffer a loss of independence. Something as basic as grocery shopping can become a major effort, especially if we have to use public transportation. Even if we still drive, road conditions, especially during the winter, can be a big problem. In time, we tend to go out less and do less. Our quality of life suffers.
