Exactly, I cannot see a taxi or bus driver being too pleased, so therefore your very own private transport is very much needed here.

I would have had your thoughts if I had not experienced just what this illness can do to someone, honestly they do need their own transport and sadly until you experience or witness first hand at just how ruthless Crohn's can be and how suddenly they need to go, you cannot even imagine the panic they feel.My friends life has been ruined by this illness honestly.
