Dear Valued Passengers,
We have made the difficult decision to close IKOR Transport effective December 31, 2023. The commercial passenger-transportation industry is a difficult business in which to succeed. Commercial auto-insurance costs have risen at an alarming pace and despite our best efforts, the economics of IKOR Transport no longer work. We didn’t take this decision lightly and explored a variety of options before choosing this path.
To our valued passengers – many of whom were repeat customers over our three years of operations – we thank you for your ridership and support. IKOR Transport has been proud to serve you and the Charlottesville community. Our passengers included many older, isolated, and vulnerable adults and we’re proud to have safely and reliably transported Central Virginians to doctors’ appointments, shopping trips, and family events.
To our driver Jeff, from the very beginning you have been the very essence of what IKOR Transport aspired to be: caring, diligent, professional, generous, and warm. We thank you for your exemplary service.
If you have questions or need recommendations for alternative means of transportation, please feel free to give us a call at 434.989.2255 through December 31, 2023. IKOR Transport’s sister company, IKOR of Charlottesville – a geriatric care management company – remains in full operation and can be reached by dialing 434.202.8887.
Warmest regards,
IKOR Transport
I am grateful for the much needed service in our time of need, last minute too I might add.
