this service is advertised in the daily sun service directory under 'airport transportation' is it the same/different service?
It is different. There are two major services to the airport. The Villages Transportation operates the white bus that stops at Spanish Springs and LSL and is reserved on The Villages website. What is in question is the taxi service that did the home pickups and returns. The Villages Airport Van (with the yellow stripe on the side) is a separate operation. They do door-to-door service and their phone is 352-241-2000.

There are advantages to each. If someone can take you to the station, the Villages Transportation runs on a fixed schedule and you know when you are going to leave. You have to have a more flexible schedule with the Villages Airport Van (yellow stripe). They pick other customers up along the way and may wait awhile at the airport (especially in the evening) for late flights before returning to The Villages.
