For witness travel costs, ground transportation, and accommodations: A witness who is summoned to appear and does appear in a civil proceeding which is held on the same island in the Commonwealth where the witness is served, no travel fees shall be paid. A witness who is summoned and appears for a civil proceeding which is on a different island in the Commonwealth, shall receive the cost of transportation necessary for his appearance and return. In such a case, the party requesting the witness summons shall purchase and present a ticket for transportation to the Clerk of the Court at the time of the issuance of witness summons. The summons and ticket shall be served at the same time; provided, however, if part or all of said transportation is provided at no expense to the witness, the latter shall be entitled to receive ticket or money only for the part of the travel at the witness’s expense.
