I called the Lake County Express and they only provide transportation in Lake County, not Sumter or Marion. Sumter County has free shuttle service and door to door service. You have to make a reservation for door to door service a day in advance before 1pm and the charge is $1.50. Their number is 352-568-6683. They do not service Lake or Marion Counties. Here is their website:

I'm glad to see that there is public transportation available. I think TV should provide this information to all residents. I know that everyone in TV is very friendly and willing to help their neighbors, but I would prefer to be able to get myself to the doctor's.
I had foot surgery last year and wasn't able to drive. I called Milford Transit and they picked me up at my home and took me to my doctor's and back home for $4.00. It was great! I didn't have to ask my son to take time off from work!
