I agree. The government would provide 2.4B, but the state would have to spend 3B. Scott said the use of the train wouldn't justify the cost. He is a very successful businessman and I'm sure knows what he's talking about. In my opinion for whatever it's worth, is that most people that want it are only fascinated in the concept of having a high speed rail system, and there is not much use for a Tampa to Orlando train. Now a Orlando to New York would be another story.
