How this relates to Help Me
Ask a neighbor for a jump. Take the bus when you need transit. Help Me does not arrange transportation, and a neighbor is not a driver.
Where Help Me fits
A neighbor can answer a quick question about a stop or a route, but MATBUS is the official source for service.
Helpers can apply to be reviewed by our team. Help Me does not run background checks. Help Me is not an emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency number.
