A Montgomery County program to transport seniors and people with disabilities is being scammed by taxi drivers after switching to a new electronic system, county officials say.

The county’s “Call-N-Ride” program gives people older than 67 and adults with disabilities discounted rides in county-approved taxis. People with lower income receive bigger discounts. The program previously used paper coupons but switched to a new electronic “debit card” system in April.
