Instead of using Uber or Lyft, why aren't the trolleys used for public transportation? The initial route would be from Spanish Springs to Sawgrass with stops at Lake Sumter and Brownwood.

If you left at 8 am, you should be able to return from Sawgrass at 9:30.

You would leave at 8 am, 11 am, 2 pm, 5 pm, and 8 pm and return at 9:30, 12:30, 3:30, 6:30 and 9:30. If it works, you could add additional routes.

Or if you had two trolleys, one could start from Spanish Springs going south and one could start at Sawgrass going north.

This would allow people to go to the Squares, restaurants, grocery stores, shops, and doctor appointments without having to drive.

You would charge a small amount $3 to $5 a trip and perhaps the government would provide some funding to stop global warming.
