“Especially this dumb idea to put a rail line between Tampa and Orlando.

$2.4 Billion to install a rail line for a 1.5 hour drive?”

That’s about the same as the distance from Milwaukee to Madison. If they would raise the speed limit to 80, a car would beat the train by a good bit. Why anyone would want to pay for the train ride is beyond me.

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?
