Online Public Relations Thoughts

 A high-speed passenger rail corridor is opening between Miami and Orlando.  It is a privately built venture and it expects to ferry tens of thousands a year.  The owners of the system are busily promoting it in the media and trumpeting its features.  But a question remains.  Will it work?  Will Floridians abandon their cars for the rails?  That is a great unknown and the fate of the enterprise depends on answering the question.  Rail around the world tends to be government-supported.  It's too expensive to run otherwise.  The private group that built it is trying to be a unicorn, a one-off success in a world where Amtrak dominates with its quasi-government structure.  One wishes them well but without great hope for the future.
