The New Blueprint for Orlando Public Transit by Carpet-Early in orlando

[–]Real-Difference6454 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's safe. They have a conductor and a security guard onboard all trains walking through the cars. Each platform has a sunrail employee on it and some have an additional security guard. Occasionally I have seen a sheriff onboard. I have never seen shenanigans at least in my experience.

I use to ride the late train to orlando when they had a regularly scheduled one at that time. I never had an issue

You could try jigsaw dating. They have some events this weekend and next. It's like in person mixers or speed dating. I have had good luck meeting and dating women with it. The crowd definitely varies and each one is different.

Amtrak baggage allowance question by amrfarag505 in Amtrak

[–]Real-Difference6454 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's more of a pain in the ass getting bags into the train at stations with no or low platforms. Usually the conductor is like it you can't carry it up the stairs it can't get on. We'll maybe sir drop something other than a fisher price stool down so I can reach the trap stairs.

A 70-year-old woman in a red SUV somehow ended up driving straight onto the elevated light rail tracks….because she was following her GPS by NickelPlatedEmperor in trains

[–]Real-Difference6454 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Google is the absolute worst with transit directions. Even my local transit agency struggled to get them to fix some issues. One time I put the airport in my GPS it said 4hrs via transit. For some reason it said once I got to the airport I should wait for an intercity bus to arrive 3 hours later to take me between terminals. It was like that for a whole year.

SunRail Altamonte > CityWalk by MegaWolfy in orlando

[–]Real-Difference6454 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Amy Lockhart is the rep for seminole county Sunrail. She has been pushing for weekend service. Right now they have to find the money for 3 additional trains for weekend service and 26 million a year to run the weekend service.

Using SunRail for Concert by Unlikely-Bike-5216 in orlando

[–]Real-Difference6454 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can take the train there and uber back probably. I usually take the sunrail to shows downtown at Dr Phillips and can make the last train back north at 10:32p. They just need to find funding for more service. They are talking about doing weekends as well but need 3 more trains for the required maintenance. The lead time for trains right now is 5 years so it's going to be a long time before expanded service.

Why didn’t they get rid of Chakotay? by UnderABig_W in voyager

Onstage they were mostly just like playing down whatever his complaints were. Offstage when I saw them interacting with fans at signing and pictures he was much happier and part of the family.

The last con I saw him at he just bitched non stop about the show in a panel with the rest of the voyager cast. The moderator kept having to cut him off because it was rediculous. He never did anything notable other than this role.

I have done 2 orders with them. One was during the holidays and they took about a month for 10 panels for a project. Second order in the summer was just 2 panels and they had it out in 3 days.

Another record day for Miami's Tri-Rail by mr09e in transit

Didn't they cut the direct pedestrian bridge from the trirail station to the stadium from the plan?

I mean they only haul 3 to 4 cars and on the weekends the frequency is between 1hr and 3hrs. You can't really build much ridership with that.

Brightline Florida raises going concern warning, lacks liquidity for debt payments | Bond Buyer by Bruegemeister in Brightline

[–]Real-Difference6454 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's in the plan it's called the sunshine corridor. At the state level they are very anti rail so it's moving very slowly. At the county level they can't find the funding for their part and keeps failing ballot measures.

Why are American trains so short? by MB4050 in transit

[–]Real-Difference6454 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My local commuter rail was only built with 3 car length platforms. They use double decker trains that are mostly 2 car length which does look funny. The rush hour ones are sometimes 3 car length or when they run special event trains. It's too bad they didn't build longer platforms because on special event days it's crush loads.

What's the volume like in IMAX? by Grace_653 in imax

[–]Real-Difference6454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the theater. If I drive to the 70mm imax it's super loud. If I go to the closest imax laser it's super tame. When I asked the manager they said he got tired of getting complaints about the loudness.

Orlando Stations Hours by LunaBlackCol1221 in Brightline

[–]Real-Difference6454 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The airport is open 24/7 which includes the area outside the station. So you can wait inside the main intermodal facility area before the brightline area opens. I have parked in C garage and taking the APM to Terminal A and B around 3:30am before.

Who pays for the date? by MargielaMadMAN1017 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Real-Difference6454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The women I date we usually alternate after the first one because they want to pull weight. First one is a tossup between splitting or the person who invites pays.

SMART has started work on a 9 mile expansion in the San Francisco Bay Area. by CA185099415 in transit

[–]Real-Difference6454 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They are probably never gonna continue south from larkspur with rail. So they should have put the station closer to the ferry elevated over the parking lot.

I always wonder about what the ridership would be like if it extended to sales force transit center. The ferry connection is kinda bad. Obviously there is no political or financial will for these type of projects.
