Default Villages moving north?

Ok, so I live in Cleveland (have a house in Charlotte) and yesterday morning I'm driving south on I71 towards Columbus. About half way down, I happened to glance over and I saw a big white Villages branded passenger bus heading north! It said "Villages Transportation" on the side of the bus. If they were delivering a new bus to TV it would have been going south, and I doubt a neighborhood got together and said, "hey, lets take a bus trip to Cleveland in November!". Anyone know what might be the explanation??

There are charter buses that do day trips, that the company is owned by TV, and they also have multiple day trips. As does AAA and couple other companies

A friend of mine said he saw this same bus with The Villages logo on the side in New Hampshire about a month ago?

Or some completely unrelated charter/use. A bus and a driver sitting around don’t make any money. I am sure they look for other business to stay busy, no matter where it is.

I'm not sure why this was posted in this thread. Let's be clear:

Village Tours and Travel is a bus company with offices in Wichita, Salina, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Ft. Smith, Springfield, and Springdale.

The Villages Travel and Tour is a bus company with offices in The Villages.
