New website aims to fill gap left by STC cancellation
The cancellation of STCleft those who relied on the bus service worried about how they would get to places like medical appointments.
After being frustrated with the lack of options, a Yorkton web developer came up with an idea to help those who can’t drive themselves.
“When the government decided to do away with (STC) I thought, well, there needs to be something for people to travel,” said Dick DeRyk, who owns Uncommon Sense Web Solutions. “Especially from the smaller towns, to get people to their medical appointments primarily and then also for shopping and visiting into the larger cities.”
DeRyk, who has been developing websites for more than 20 years, came up with SaskRideShare, a site that allows people to post if they need a ride, or can offer one.
