Obviously The Villages has found a way to put a surcharge on Uber pickups inside the Villages. Outrageous and totally ticks me off that The Villages can't handle the heat of competition.

Do you have a credible support for this outrageous claim?
First of all, The Village Inc, The Morse corporation, sold the Village Transportation to another company several years ago. It appears to be the Morses business plan to establish the needed businesses to support the Villages and then to sell them as they have done with several restaurants and the Village Entertainment and the Newspaper. They are not dummies and they seem to have tried to get buyers who would run them to their standards but so far have not. They really did a great job running the Villages Transportation and I don't think the owners now even come close.
