I live in Florida.
Is the new rail you’re talking about the brightline?
It pretty much exclusively goes to and from tourist centers and is far too expensive ($40-$60 per seat each way) to deter most residents from just driving to Orlando. I wouldn’t really call it infrastructure (like the tri rail is.)
Not to mention that it’s the deadliest train in the US. People here barely follow traffic laws, but when you have it passing through major foot traffic areas every hour like on antlantic avenue in Delray Beach, people are going to get hit.

- dartos 2y agoRather not have the deadliest train in the US fly through high foot traffic areas every hour? Yes, I’d rather not have that. I’d rather them just add a route from palm beach to Tampa. Or extend the tri rail to Orlando. The brightline prices out most residents, since it’s just about as expensive (or cheaper) to drive as it is to take the brightline. https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/death-train-a-timeline-of-brightline-deaths-in-miami-fort-lauderdale-west-palm-beach-13717396 https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/death-train-a-timeline-of...
