Supply & Demand. No where as many Uber Drivers in TV as in city locations so Uber charges more as fewer transportation options are presented here. Supply and Demand.

We used uber and lyft recently while at the Indianapolis race, our hotel was around 10 miles away, the one way trip (4 of them) were all around $20 for 2 passengers. I do not use taxis much, but I do recall seeing a minimum fee and then a per mile rate. Depending on the minimum fee your cost may be valid, and since someone had to drive to your location, transport you, and then drive home, it seems very reasonable.

Instead of me saying it again tell me why there are not many Uber or Lyft drivers in our area? |

Village Airport Van has a Taxi service. $4.00 first mile plus $2.00 per mile. Appears to be much cheaper.

There is definitely a need for more transportation services in TV. The Villages taxi no longer runs except to transport passengers to the shuttle pick-up in Sumter Square or Spanish Springs or Brownwood(?)(not sure about). The TV taxi service was unable to make money picking up regular fares so they stopped their service. The TV taxi service refers callers to A1 Taxi. Why doesn't TV use their trolleys up and down Buena Vista and Morse? They could come up with a schedule. There are about a dozen idle trolley cars just sitting in the Sumter Sales parking lot.

How is the new business treating you money wise since you're the one putting in the time behind the wheel.
