You can take a luxury bus from Tampa airport to Orlando airport..cost is $12..takes about 90 minutes, depending on traffic...
In today's Tampa Trib, they quote supporters of HSR..who say that it would be good for Tampa..it could bring visitors from Orlando's theme parks and beaches...Talk about a stupid idea..imagine a family arriving at Tampa's rail terminal..two adults, 3 kids..how the heck are they gonna get to the beaches from there?

It makes me sad because I do believe in high speed rail......and unicorns.
BWHAAH GOOD ONE C/W ME? I DON'T THINK THIS IDEA WAZ THOUGHT THROUGH AT ALL....
I could wile away the hours Conferrin' with the flowers Consultin' with the rain And my head I'd be a scratchin' While my thoughts were busy hatchin' If I only had a brain I'd unravel any riddle For any individ'le In trouble or in pain I would not be just a nuffin' My head all full of stuffin' My heart all full of pain I would dance and be merry Life would be a ding-a-derry If I only had a brain !

Very courageous and insightful: ANY “local” plan would of course end up bankrupt and the cities would go to the state on the grounds that “If Tampa’s commitment is out, it will cause everyone else to bail, so we HAVE to save Tampa” and so on.
