If the line was as successful as they say it is, why hasn’t Amtrak built a line from Tampa-Saint Pete to Orlando yet? It should be very lucrative.

Amtrak has one daily trip along the route from Orlando to Tampa and a coach seat (when available) costs $10.00 to $14.00

This is traditional intercity Amtrak service (meaning the schedule can be delayed due to higher priority freight trains) and is not considered ‘commuter rail’ that would have a better than 95% ‘on-time’ record.
