Default Re: The Villages' bus service to/from the airport is a scam

One would expect that mass transportation would be the cheapest way to travel, so if a couple can get a door-to-door limo cheaper than the bus (and apparently a hire car for even less) then seniors are not getting a fair deal when using the bus.

I would suggest that The Villages web site should include information on the various ways to get in from the airport, with costs and contact numbers, otherwise people who haven't done that trip before would assume that the bus was the cheapest way to go.

Incidentally, if you get on the bus without having pre-paid then the driver will ask you for $40 each, regardless of whether you are a resident, a guest, the guest of a resident, the guest of a guest, or any of the other confusing options that dictate how much you are charged if you make a reservation.
