Orlando Rail Fail

A major problem is how to get anyone to ride the trains, as ridership is well below expectations and 2018 fare revenues covered just 5 percent of operating costs. A final question is how to pay to continue operating the trains, which lost more than $40 per passenger in 2018.  This [Orlando SunRail] is a misbegotten project that never should have been considered, never should have been funded, and never should have been built. It has so far cost taxpayers more than $1.3 billion dollars in capital costs and, through the end of 2019, around $200 million in operating subsidies. It is the worst-performing commuter-rail line in the nation, with the highest subsidy per trip and the lowest ratio of fare revenues to operating costs.

The train doesn't go to the airport and it doesn't go to Disneyworld or to Daytona Beach.  In 2019, it only served 6,000 passengers per day.  In 2020, a train that once had 200 to 300 riders during rush hour only had 10 passengers.  They should just shut it down.
