AAF should just add a station in Martin/Indian county. |

AAF owns the tracks and right-of-way. They are a private company operating without any subsidy. At this point, what could these counties come up with to stop the project? |
^Sounds like a slush fund to me. $4.1 million to "fight" something which can't be fought? There's really no other reasonable explanation.
|
There too much money to be made for this to even be a threat. It won't and they will need a lot more money to fight something on this scale. More of a publicity stunt to try to get negative views on the project if anything, but ... this will commence as planned and there is site work, so its not going to stop because of this vote or a iota of a complaints.
. Here we have a great project which can bring mass transit to Florida and their complaining. Shame on them! Not everybody can get what they wan't, and they aren't going to stall this project because of it. |

Metromover and its fares have nothing what-so-ever to do with FEC, or AAF.
I wish there was a better thread to post this bit of news on. ;) |
What's current planned start of revenue service? 2017? Will they open the entire Miami-Orlando line to passenger service at once or will they do it in legs like how they have funded it?

Sounds like it is progressing quite nicely!
How cool would it be to live in one of those high rises above the podium housing the station :yes: They need to run a spur to Ft. Myers/Naples. I realize that's quite unlikely but if AAF is as successful as we all think they will be, maybe we will see the public clamoring for new rail lines that provide service all over the state. It's happening in Virginia, they've had success increasing service to stations in the state and are now expanding passenger rail to places that haven't had it for decades (ie the Roanoke expansion) Plus if they made it to Ft. Myers/Naples it's then only 130 miles more to connect to Tampa. There's already the possibility of a planned expansion to Tampa (from Orlando) right? I'm sure that's at least a decade away. |
