It's going to be a great asset in mobility and independence! I was thinking of a 1 month pass for 125 dollars, if the gym qualified as a bus possible ride, I'd take it to the gym while daddy was at work, maybe everyday or certainly 3 xs a week , and then to school everyday if i went back, then to all my dr's appointments, and then to the therapeutic social class every week it'd be worth it, and my dad said if i went back to school he'd be more than happy to pay part of the 125 every month. And Daddy would pitch in too a bit on the cost. I am really excited about the mobility and independence possibilities.

I understand that it is annoying but to be perfectly honest, those SS workers are usually underpaid and overworked and they're mainly there to answer questions and show solutions to the most important problems, not to play nurse maid and hold the hands of everybody and tell them everything what might be possible - it's the job of somebody requiring assistance to ask questions like "How about help with the transportation fare?" etc.

Picture yourself in the shoes of those workers - you're there with a workload, you aren't getting much thanks and not really a big cheque, you try to help with the most important questions, it seems reasonable to expect that people will ask you what they need to know, and possibly do a bit of research themselves as a lot of answers are available online....

It's a bit like people working in an unemployment office, they are super busy just letting people know what paper work they need, to check the paperwork, trying to place them in jobs, they can't really hold their hand and tell each and everyone what interview training is available - unless the people ask for it.
