Typically, it would only be if the person cannot walk from the nearest bus stops (eg at the top of St Thomas' Street), or if travel by bus was an extremely long and convoluted journey by public transport. And the quality of service is pretty awful - long waits, uncertain timings etc - far worse than a typical demand responsive service.

Yep, patient transport basically works on the basis that you have nothing else to do with your day.
