Abstract
Data collected through field research for 1 year in a transportation system for the elderly document the erosion of an elderly constituent's effective participation. The definitions of the ideal passenger to which each component of the organization and each funding source subscribed are compared to show how and why the erosion came about. It is suggested that transportation services may depend for their survival on promoting the effective participation of passengers.Keywords
