A Not-so-Happy Thanksgiving I missed a holiday dinner with my family because of the inability to coordinate a trip properly, especially when I did everything I was supposed to on my end.

It was Thanksgiving Day 2018, and I was excited to celebrate the holiday with my family at my cousin’s new home. I scheduled my pickup with the local shared-ride public transportation service well in advance, allowing for plenty of transit time, knowing that day would probably be busier than usual. That afternoon, the transport van surprisingly arrived 10 minutes early, which is rare on a regular day and unheard of on holidays. Pickups are often late by 30 minutes to an hour, resulting in delayed arrivals and missed appointments. I was especially thankful this Thanksgiving day for an on-time pickup, as I expected a great day with my family. Unfortunately, that was not to be the case. I ended up missing Thanksgiving dinner, thanks to a horrible ride experience provided by my local ride-share service.
