As a South Floridian sorry to say but this is probably a massive waste of money and investment in an old technology that frankly I don't see how it's going to benefit people when it only has a few stops and because it can't seem to stop killing people it seems to be running slower and slower every week, wasn't this supposed to be a "Fast" train?

Also sure Florida has plenty of freight trains, something I'm used to but it seems like Brightline passes more frequently (not sure if they're still doing test runs here and there) which mess up local traffic patterns especially in rush hour times.

" it can't seem to stop killing people it seems to be running slower and slower every week, "

I presume you aren't familiar with how well freeways perform in this respect?

What newer technology would you rather people invest billions of dollars into for mass transit that is proven to work?

this is the exact reason Fort Lauderdale decided to kill the WAVE Streetcar project, old technology that nobody seemed to want:
