It was just clean and efficient. I wouldn't really compare it to any other system.

Sorry I should have communicated better I was not referring to you but to a different poster who should remain nameless. By the way I love your posts and appreciate your positive attitude that is needed on this board.

And what development is that? Because you'll be waiting a long time.

Well those changes aren't going to happen. So it actually sounds like you are an opposer of SunRail.

As I have stated before, SunRail is a FOUNDATION for the future of Orlando and its transportation infrastructure, it was not designed to be the sole miracle solution to all..
The title of this thread isn't in keeping with the reality which I realize is a troubling concept for many on this forum. My point all along is that this area isn't built for transit and the infill required to achieve any sort of usefulness is going to take decades, if at all. It takes an understanding of urban planning to see that any sort of rail transit isn't going to benefit this area, unlike more a flexible public transit mode such as BRT which was overlooked for the more glamorous rail option.

I hope to see light rail/streetcar in the future connecting all throughout Downtown.
Seriously.... You say negative, I say realistic. I'm all for intelligent progress which up until now Orlando hasn't shown any signs of exhibiting in it's developmental process.

I slightly disagree here, that rail transit COULD have benefited Orlando, had they chosen a route that served a purpose. They built on the cheap and got cheap results.

Would SunRail ever had been proposed if the Obama Camp wasn't handing out billions to launch rail subsidies across the country... absolutely not.

As you say, Orlando was not built properly for transit-especially commuter rail.
This is NOT, and in the foreseeable future will not be a 9-5 downtown hub of office city.
