Shawnee City Ride program allows me to see my doctor in Shawnee and others at the Shawnee hospital area without having to depend on or ask someone else to pick me up. Gives me some independence! Taxis are clean, office help courteous and friendly. I am very thankful we have this service. This is a great service for us older citizens. This is a great service provided by Shawnee.
