I think it would be a great idea if there were some kind of shuttle service between the 3 squares. You could park your cart/car at the one closest to you and take shuttle to your destination. This would help a great deal for events and especially during the busy season. Thoughts?

I find your request interesting, because I have never found myself wishing to go from one square to another on the same day or evening, other than to show visitors an overview of The Villages.. To me the squares are places to dance/listen to music and to eat and to shop and usually one is enough for an evening.


If there is an event, such as a parade or something like a tree lighting, those are usually not scheduled for the same day.

Who pays??? How much are you willing to pay???

[salpal]

I would be willing to pay up to $5. If I live near Brownwood and want to go to the Sharon or eat at Katie Belles, I'd much rather hop on a shuttle/bus than drive to Spanish Springs and look for a parking spot.

Great idea. I think a shuttle would be well used and people would happily pay for the service.

What time would they do this til ? If someone decided to have dinner and missed the last shuttle, then what ? The cost of gas and a driver when only 2 people get on the shuttle to go from maybe Brownwood to The Sharon.
I have never gone to 2 squares in 1 night.

Since this is all hypothetical, maybe run from 9am-9pm. This shouldn't be limited to nighttime events/dancing, etc., as plenty of people visit the town squares during the day for shopping, sightseeing, dining, etc.

One word... Monorail. Could be built over existing MM paths. I mean, what's a DisneyWorld for Adults without a monorail? Right?

Haaaa. Last time we were at Epcot I said the same thing to my wife...The Villages need a monorail

But if they are getting the shuttle at a square, they might as well just go to the square they want.

Didn't the valet parking go away due to $5 to use

It wouldn't be for everyone, but I could see people using it. Especially if people wanted to make a day of visiting more than one TS and not having to worry about driving and parking.

I like the monorail. No traffic issues and a good way to sightsee. A subway would be my next choice.

Valet Parking did not work. Don't think this would either.

Probably not enough of a supply and demand to make this an economical business. And, I do not see the developers fronting something like this with their funds. Nor would the property owners of the Villages.
