Orlando SunRail stations spark more than 1,000 apartments - Orlando Sentinel

Good link, id love to see the region be more agressive in those sort of developments. It seems from what I am reading Orange County is the dominant county of the central Florida region. Im sure they have their hands in a lot of the action going on city wide. Other than Lynx Central and Sand Lake station with other stations on Sunrail gets alot of riders?

I'm sorry you aren't bright enough to understand the point of mentioning ride sharing and how it could help support Maglev and other rail projects.

i guess it just depends on where there actually put the stations and how they connect with existing transit like Lynx and Sunrail. As long as a good feeder system is in place and good development springs up near the new stations, the maglev system will support its self like Sunrail eventually will.

SunRail supporting itself....where did you find economic data pointing to that?
