There should be some method for these people to go to and from medical appointments, grocery stores, the Squares, etc. It would probably make The Villages more attractive to many people as it would allow people to stay in their homes after they can no longer drive. And it might make it safer on the roads for everyone else.

The county recently paid $2.4 million to put a roof on the horse arena at the County Fairgrounds. I think that the money would be better spent on a form of public transportation.

Other cities have public trolleys that are either free or affordable.
