Those ridership and revenue figures do not include the so-called "captive market" between Orlando International Airport, the Orange County Convention Center and Disney World, which would add another 4 million riders and $56.3 million in ticket revenue to 2016 operations.

That's the one possible area that a commuter rail service could make sense with the number of visitors/tourists in the area. But, if it's a great idea, private funding should be available.

That route is already well serviced by buses, I wonder how many of them are full?

Now if they added a high speed line including one that took people from the Orlando circuit out to Cocoa Beach and dropped them off for the day they may see a big jump in riders.

Okay, so maybe I'm a little dense, but, with all of these stops that they're talking about .. all of these places that they're going to tie together .. to get such great numbers of riders, how is that a high-speed train? The way I see it, they couldn't get up enough speed to make a difference between stops.
