I have learned that there is a taxi service that I think is owned by The Villages. I believe this is in addition to the airport shuttle.

It seems like there would be others in the area. Sounds like a business opportunity for someone to set up (outside TV) a small fleet and all necessary insurances, background checks, and testing to provide such a service to TV residents. Should be room for competition even -- especially eventually.

As TV grows and the residents grow older so will the need for drivers.

I have wondered, too, if there are continuum-of-care communities in proximity to TV though not connected.

Seems like there are niches to be filled. That is a large aging population in TV so the ratio of need could become out of proportion to what would be provided directly by TV-owned entities only.

But what do I know. A rainy afternoon just changed my plans so here I sit on TOTV, just thinking out loud.
