It seems to me to have been poorly publicized, but it does appear to be true that:

1] The Villages Taxi will cease operations at the end of business 30 April 2012

2] A "car service" will replace it.

3] The "car service" will be far less flexible and available; my information shows severely limited hours of service.

4] The "car service" will be essentially useless in so-called 'off-hours' as a connector to The Villages Transportation's Airport Shuttle Service.

5] The highly convenient airport-shuttle-with-home-pickup-and-delivery program will be become essentially inconvenient, at so-called off hours, especially.

I am disturbed that, once again, the "bottom line" has directed a corporate decision with little consideration of the "public relations line."

The situation bears close watching!
