On the surface it is a good idea. The questions I have are how would it be utilizied, how much will a ticket cost. If a ticket cost say $35 each way from Tampa to Orlando I do not see a family of 4 or 5 using it as it would cost $280-$350 round trip for a $50 or $60 trip by car.If the ticket cost is say $5-$10 and that covers the operating cost than it is a much better bet. No passangers mean we have to come up with the operating costs, I wonder where that money will come from? What would the cost be to add 2 or 4 more lanes to I 4? We are a nation of auto drivers and with the exception of the east coast most passenger rail is a failure and a drain on taxes.
