Indeed. If someone just takes everything ever discussed and claim it applies today, then if ANY of them become real 20 years down the road, that someone can claim they were right all along and their track record is amazing.

I found it!
Here’s the link. I mean, sure it’s from 2011, just like that rendering, but what’s a decade between friends?
Florida governor slams brakes on high-speed rail
Florida's Tea Party-backed Governor Rick Scott on Wednesday rejected $2.4 billion in government funds to build a high-speed passenger rail line, prompting a sharp rebuke from Washington as political tensions grew over the federal budget deficit.

It was cancelled in 2011. And that's AFTER we Floridians first voted for a bullet train between Tampa and Orlando in 2000 and then unvoted it in 2004.
Some of us live in this state and kinda know stuff.
Stop bringing facts into this.
Nearest thing I can find is a week old article about a Brightline board meeting about a potential $1 billion change to include I-Drive. And service wouldn’t begin on the line until 2026, according to WFTV.
“If all goes according to plan, service on the Orlando to Tampa leg- including SunRail to the airport- would begin in late 2026.”
The Florida Legislature is currently here in session, so it's make believe time in Tally....

You are correct...that article is from 2011. That was so 10 years ago....
Brightline is privately funded. We Floridians really messed up when we overturned the constitutional amendment in 2004. Imagine how that bullet train would have kicked off high speed rail throughout the state.

May I remind you Brightline is privately funded and operated?
Oh so you’ve been there recently, say, in the past decade?

They still have to abide by regulations.
