$1,250,000,000.00 gift to Disney. That’s the price to build an 84 mile high speed rail link between Tampa and Orlando… So you’re wondering how many people a day will pay to ride it? If it runs at 220 MPH, that’ll make the trip perhaps half an hour. I would guess about the same number that use the Dubai monorail each day.
But Florida said it would take twice that amount to actually build, and wouldn’t be ready until 2020 at the earliest – but then we can say we’re finally more like the Europeans! And jobs jobs jobs!
