Yea, I can see Disney wanting to bypass all the other attractions that may take money out of their pockets. It would be great if there was a train that would take you from the airport to any of the amusement parks to the areas where the hotels are in the highest density.
And besides all that, how do they figure $47.88 round trip gas between Tampa and Orlando??? Let’s see, 85 miles x 2 = 170 miles, and at 20 mpg would require 8.5 gallons of gas, which at $4.00/gallon would give a sum total of $34.00! Where do they get $47.88 from??? Me thinks if they can’t even estimate the cost of gas for a car trip between Tampa and Orlando, what hope do they have of estimating high speed rail costs and ridership? I’d say, zippo!
Warren Buffet bought a railroad and not a toll road. He’s worth billions because he’s made frugal decisions. Feel free to send him a note telling him how stupid he is.
Wow. A private investor making an investment. What a concept. You seem to have a disconnect when it comes to spending other people's money.
