I don't understand it either. I'm originally from Fort Lauderdale. The Fort Lauderdale stop is in downtown Fort Lauderdale. If you work there you probably live in Broward. I suppose it gives people waaay in the future to live near a station in Miami and Palm Beach and commute down on the train.
My guess is they are banking on ridership to Orlando. It talks of connecting to Atlanta, and other cities, which would be nice. I've transplanted to Atlanta and would take a train over driving or flying (at a reasonable cost) in a heart beat.
- djsumdog 8y agoI really hope they succeeded. Imagine if one day we had rail from Orlando up to Atlanta, and then on to Chattanooga, Nashville? ... I think once we saw really good high speed systems, Americans would demand more. Florida and California are the two hot spots right now that really need to succeed. I don't think I'll see real high speed rail expansion in the US before (if) I reach retirement age, but I think it will greatly benefit the next generation. But for that to happen, it needs a lot of support to expand now.
