Now imagine if it had been state-owned as was originally planned before Rick Scott torpedoed it.

LANDLORDS COWER IN FEAR OF MAOTRAIN
"that train pic is too powerful lmao" - u/Cadende
I think there's a ton of state backing in the form of bonds and other guarantees so it's for all intents and purposes state owned, but in true liberal fashion any profits would be siphoned off. We'll see. I am hopeful
Just hit 127mph as we head towards Cape Canaveral
They have high speed rail in FL?
higher
It doesn't qualify as real HSR anywhere else in the world.
From Miami to Orlando. They're extending it to Tampa next
Shame it's so slow. I was going back and forth between Jax and Orlando for a while and would have loved to take the train but it was like $100 one way and took twice as long as driving.
You might be thinking of TriRail, which is different
Just Florida trains in general. It still takes 3 or 4 hours though, right?
It's about the same as driving but far less hassle
Transit from one place designed for cars to another should beat driving handily, as it comes with the hassle of getting to the first place from where you start and getting from the second place to where you're going, and you can expect both of those to take longer than driving the same routes.
Texas is getting high-speed rail between Dallas and Houston that will be here in around 3 years. Yeah, it's privatized but at this point I will take it.
Meanwhile California keeps running into excuse after excuse on why they're taking their sweet time with building the HSR they voted for in fucking 2008.
Is it actually? Last I heard because of some court decision it was basically dead.
