TV could just schedule pick-up and drop-off stops along the way. Or add one more bus to the route for supporting the current residents.

There are several of those buses..BUT I think it would take a fleet to really give us public transportation.
I agree with BarryX and although I think we need to be mindful of not hurting others feelings who are older and who read this forum, NONE of us are getting younger and there is only one way outa here. We will all age and we will all lose the capability to be as independent as we once were. There isn't an easy answer for that and assisted living is probably in most of our futures.
The Morses are great thinkers and great civic planners but even they cannot take the role of personal planning and of family and of public assistance in some issues. We as a community cannot solve all social and aging problems.
As it is now, people move into assisted living or in with family when they no longer can drive.
I don't know if a truly good form of public transportation could or would work. All those buses stopping and starting and pulling out into the already horrific traffic during the high season makes me want to run and hide. We are a huge, never before happened community of seniors. We are finding out things about living together and getting older in a bunch that is truly pioneering.
