Bus from The Villages to Amtrak Jacksonville
Can anyone tell me if this service exists, and how to contact them. Also the price. I live in The Villages but will be catching the train in Jacksonville. Thank you.

Amtrak has a bus/train from wildwood to winter haven, which is the stop past lakeland. I just took it. You have to book a train leg so I paid to go to winter haven but got off in Lakeland.

Check the 3rd page in the middle for Villages' connections. You should call to verify. Quote:

Thank you all for good input. To qualify for bus pick up, one must go to Amtrak site and use the phone tree ending up with "change my reservation." A live person or facsimile thereof will tell you where the bus pick up is located and reserve a seat on the bus. For the villages there is one on 441 adjacent to the BP station . There is another in Wildwood but for 441 suits us better. I am sight impaired and can longer drive.

Thanks for that. My older brother just took a trip to NYC from DC via Amtrak and spoke with a bunch of agents about a book he just wrote. Seven agents are looking at it now. He might get something published again. There have been many budding writers in my family over the years so I might be taking a similar train trip if I can stop being so distracted by other stuff. I go up to DC once in a while too. I have taken Amtrak a number of times and still love travelling by train.
