That’s interesting, do you know what island? I’ve never heard of a government subsidized taxi service in Maine, but don’t’ doubt it is possible.

I don't recall which island. I think the subsidy amount to $20,000 or so -- not much, but about $20,000 more than the free service received from the state. Still, the free service managed to run at a profit, while the subsidized service was losing money. Doesn't that say a mouthful?

Wild guess -- it was some Green Grant to encourage people to leave their carbon-emitting car at home and instead rely on some "common usage" transportation like a taxi service. That type of government assistance has become very common lately.
