^This. I'm in Altamonte too, and I agree. Also they need to do flexbus routes to the attractions area too from the southern most stops as to provided people in the northern suburbs access to the jobs at the parks. I know I considered taking a job there, but the OT I would have worked would have gone out the window in gas and vehicle wear and tear. I'd gladly spend more time to save money and stress. I'd get my coffee, radio, and newspaper and enjoy riding the rails.

I'm fairly certain the theme parks have already started working on plans to transport their employees from the stations to their properties. They were major supporters of the project and I know Disney has already they looked into using their own private lines to get visitors and workers to Lake Buena Vista. Sea World and Universal are supposed to be working in conjunction with other I-Drive businesses to do the same. Many of the major employers including hospitals and theme parks jumped behind the project because each has said it would be cheaper to subsidize ridership amongst their employees and visitors than build more parking for them. Tupperware has also said it will have a shuttle for it's employees to their main campus.

Great to hear, sounds like rail has some real legs (or ears) in CFL.
