I doubt they will continue to use those big vans for shuttle purposes.

Half hour on hold for customer service and still no answer. Not good

Probably not getting many calls with the announcement. I would expect they would be busy.

Current update.

The direct route is running the Workman branded large bus as before.

One hour on hold with no response is not acceptable under any circumstances

Many DO NOT REALIZE, that Groome called their booked clients traveling for this past Tuesday(8/29) & Wednesday(8/30) on Monday evening notifying that they were canceling reservations because they were shutting down during the hurricane. I understand about Wednesday morning because of the expected weather, BUT Tuesday afternoon and evening when nothing was expected yet? They left hundreds stranded having to look for rides home on Tuesday for themselves or family members coming in for the holiday. So what happens next time, is this how their going to operate? There was no bad weather on Tuesday, but they canceled those riders trips. Not good! I'll stick with Dave's Airport Transportation private car service. They are licensed and commercially insured and have 21 vehicles. They picked up my sister +4 and her plane was 2+ hours late Tuesday night and didn't arrive until 11:10pm, and their car was there upon arrival. Give them a call, communication between their clients is second to none. 352-223-4696

While I'm not a fan of less competition, we have used Groome twice in the last few months and were very pleased with the service.

Workman Airport Transportation Problems!!!

For those of us who had credits with Workman…good luck. I just got off the phone with them, and apparently they’re trying to “wash their hands” of all of it. They said they had turned all that over to Groome, and Groome would be honoring those credits. They said my issue would be with Groome, as they had sold everything to Groome. I said I had called Groome, and that Groome wasn’t honoring, or knew of, any such credits. Therefore, my issue is with Workman, as it was Workman who I had contracted with, had paid, and had earned credits with.

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

The Villages continues to build south toward Orlando and Tampa and not north toward Ocala. A major airport in Ocala seems a very “long shot” at best. Better service by Groom or another company to Orlando Sanford airport would be helpful. More destinations out of Sanford would be helpful too.

As an update…just got a call from a Workman (manager/owner?), from phone 407-947-0158. He basically said that yes, those that had earned credits with them we out of luck, as they were going to do nothing to honor them.

I thought they were still running the bus excursions/day trips. They did not declare bankruptcy so if I was affected there would be some calls made to Seniors versus Crime and the Florida Attorney General. I would think they are also regulated by a state agency

Do not use anyone. Live in Spanish Springs. Less than 90 minutes to off site parking, $8-$10 a day to park. No waiting when we get back to Orlando(we fly to the west a lot and planes come in late). No necessity of having to get to drop off and pick up spot.

why would it be considered a crime If a company cannot honor a credit for a service they are no longer in the business of providing? They aren't refusing to give you credit on your next ride to the airport with them, they simply no longer offer any rides to the airport at all.
