As a person living in Sarasota, I must tell people that there are going to be more accidents on Interstate-75 and Interstate-4. The rail runs on the median of these roads, and people are going to slow down, not look at what they are doing, and say [B]"OOOOH SHINY"[/B] and run into a palm tree.
We have both shitty looking trains in Australia, and because of the heat, the tracks expand. Y'know what that means? That's right, we have the [b]HIGHEST[/b] rate of train track related accidents possibly in the world. The only good thing about our trains is we actually get to use them for cheap.

[QUOTE=Chris Parks;19849682]I live in Florida! Fuck yeah! St. Petersburg FLORIDA BITCH[/QUOTE] Clermont Yeah! Much closer to that train than you.
[QUOTE=Skippy!;19844923]I feel like a train system should be built between more...important places. I mean, really. Florida?[/QUOTE] I imagine the amount of tourists who will inevitably use it to visit Busch Gardens in Tampa while they are on a Disney/Universal vacation in Orlando makes it worthwhile to investors.
TGV has been doing this for 30 years...
