Many more events apart from these happen in the city to ensure people stay connected with each other and with their community. While the city tries to keep everything free some of them have to be paid for. The good part is anyone, near or far, can attend these events due to a well developed transportation system. Apart from taxi cabs and mass transit, the city takes extra caution for physically challenged individuals. There are several non-medical transportation available to travel comfortably from one event to another. These vans are mostly run by private transportation companies and are available at competitive prices. Drivers are well trained and vehicles are equipped with state of the art gadgets such as GPS systems and credit card machines for the convenience of the customers. Vehicles can also be booked online through the provider’s website.
