I guess it depends on what you mean by success. If you mean lowering pollution, then yes fewer cars going the same way. If you mean using less fossil fuels to transport the same number of people, then likely yes, depending how full the trains are. If you mean making other cities easily accessible to people leaving from MCO, then yes. This is especially true if they don’t want or need to rent a car. If you mean the time it takes you personally to travel, then it depends. Would you like to use the time on the train to watch your favorite movie, read a book or relax instead of driving? Then yes.
