Oh, wow. Thanks for the description of how someone would have to manage public transit. Having to rely on the staff not only adds time, but there's also the discomfort of needing to rely on someone else. A missed communication (or bad attitude) could leave someone in a bad situation.
On having to pay for a taxi...is there no reimbursement system, or an alternative bus system between stations? In my city (Chicago, IL, U.S.) you can either arrange for the "para-transit" van (which is relatively reliable) or if it's past service hours or there is some other problem that means a taxi is the only option, the public transit system has to reimburse you part of the cost.
