Rental cars to Florida are already expensive enough.
anyone who has rented a car in Florida knows they didn’t pay enough tax on it (sarc)
not to mention the 13% hotel tax and the $.50 a mile (or more) tolls on the highways around the aiport
IF SC gets rid of Linsey we may celebrate by checking out Myrtle Beach
Oh, I love it. TriRail can’t make enough money to pay for itself in a higher population area than Central Florida, but hey, let’s move forward with SunRail too. I’m sure it’ll do better. Definition of “insanity” anyone?
i can’t remember how many times we the voters in florida have shot this down and they still insist on ramming it down our throats.....
Will not be going back to Florida again unless forced to go.
So let’s see, I drive to the train station (which in Tampa could mean as much as a 25 mile drive — worse for those in St Pete, etc), park, wait for train, take a quick ride to another train station, at which point I probably rent a car (assuming Orlando like Tampa lacks viable public transportation).
Or I drive. When I used to make the trip from the far side of Tampa to the other side of Orlando regularly, it took two hours no matter when I did it (and this was before the improvements on 4/275).
The rail scam in Florida is shaping up to be the biggest tax payer ripoff in U.S. history under the guidance of Charlie, a close personal friend of the current Administration. With this rail scam, Charlie has completed his training for the job in Washington and will fit in nicely with the likes of Charlie Rangel.
Why rent a car when Disney offers Magic Express for free? Plus they get your luggage off the carosel and take it straight to your room. What’s not to like?
NOBODY WANTS THIS IDIOTIC TRAIN.
people do not ride these mass transit fiascos.
Crist is clueless but he has the senate committee endorsement and campaign money.
rubio has no money and no endorsements.
I’m in Texas, and when I do go to Florida, I DRIVE myself (and family). That way, I don’t have to deal with these sickening ‘targeted’ taxes, so Charlie can shove it.
By the way, we’re just as bad here (in Texas), so it’s certainly not just Florida...it’s most states - but Florida REALLY counts on tourism, since the wheezers have stopped moving in.
