I do not use Facebook (security concerns) so for others that share my concerns:

Here is the link to the workman site:

It appears this airport shuttle will now be through Groome.

Not cancelled. Assumed by Groome. Same price and schedule. Direct service from Brownwood and Lsl

Hope it doesn’t mean smaller vehicles.

What happens to the free rides accumulated?

For what it's worth, just the opinion of one person, I have been EXTREMELY pleased with my experiences with Groome. Have also used them when we lived in other areas of Florida, same experience, very pleased. Hope it stays consistent.

Groom had better late and early schedule, and if your plane was late with workman you were left behind. So monopoly on MCO ride. Groome does have smaller units but have never had more than 6 people

Thinking of using them for a ride to Orlando in a few months. Do not like the idea of being left behind so would not use them for a late flight back home.

I used Groome in June for a 1am pickup. There was one other customer that had been picked up prior from outside TV's. It may have been an eight or so passenger van. They may need larger vehicles (and more comfortable) if they assume all of Workmans clients. I have also used Workmans and private car service in the past.

Groom gives door pickup and delivery. Newer vans, 6 max persons. I have always been very pleased with their service. Also, they have "van tracker" so you can see how close they are when coming to pick you up.
$40 door to door, please tip.

One thousand percent no to to door to door. Don’t need a tour of tv

Direct service like workman still available

Bummer, we have been using Workman (formerly Village’s Transportation) for many years. Hopefully Groome will be as good as Workman has over the years and continue direct service from LSL with only one stop at Brownwood and also continue to have the home shuttle service between our home to the LSL terminal.

Go to their site it’s all there, including free parking at the Brownwood departure site.

Groom has both express and door-to-door for $40.

We need a major Airport in Ocala, Orlando is too far and too crowded.
