Robert Lee Cohen, 87, takes the MTA paratransit bus to a dialysis center in east Macon three times weekly. Cohen moved to Macon from Buffalo, New York, in 2021. "Here you got to have a car to get around," Cohen said. The new technology will call Cohen before the MTA bus arrives so he doesn't have to wait in the elements.
