Default Re: Public Transportation...The Lack Of IT In TV

Public transportation systems in major cities are suffering from lack of ridership. Here in the Villages, there are not enough people wanting to go enough places for mass transportation. I am absolutely certain that they stop running the taxi at 8 p.m. because there is no business after that time.

Think about it, if there was bus service, where would it go and who would go there? If it went to Spanish Springs and Sumter Landing, it would have to make pickups in every villages, on every coroner. It would take hours for it to get downtown. I'll bet that on any given day, there wouldn't be more than 20 or 30 people who would use the service.
