As a person with disabilities myself...God, why is it paratransit is screwed up everywhere?
The only place I've found with working, useful paratransit so far is in Palm Beach County, FL, and there I've only used it for short trips so far. (Of course, there, on a per ride basis you actually pay more than for the fixed-route bus.) NJ Transit's AccessLink is a horror show, and apparently, as you note, MBTA's equivalent ain't good.
Meanwhile, yeah, medical transportation is universally bad, where it's even available.
