Mount Dora readers press for baggage transfer rates
A Mount Dora letter urges the local Chamber of Commerce or town council to establish standardized baggage transfer rates for travelers and residents. The writer cites a specific overcharge of 50 cents quoted for a three mile transfer, but a $1 charge upon delivery, and argues for fair pricing to avoid perceived price gouging and to support visitors and locals without cars. The piece ends with praise for Mount Dora and well wishes for the Topic staff.
