$40 is reasonable. That is what Workman charges, with the ride one way being about 1.5 hours (only stops are in LSL and Brownwood), so it's a bit shorter than the length of the ride mentioned in the OP.

Other than that, there are private concerns that also provide transportation. I've used Joe Byers (Blue Line Services) for rides to and from. Very reliable, never (in my experience anyway) late. The charge 1-way is a bit higher than the van lines charge (I'm thinking $110 for the first person, with additional people being something like $25 more for the ride). Costs more: faster service.
