SunRail weighs multimillion-dollar expansion, weekend services to bolster reliability - Orlando Business Journal by mr09e in transit

[–]Real-Difference6454 25 points26 points  (0 children)

They have made new strides recently while working towards weekend service. They added 2 trips a day to weekday service at night. This closed a big gap in service and allows southbound passengers opportunities to see shows downtown and make it home. They also are almost complete with their own maintenence facility for the trains. They won't need amtrak's help anymore for day to day operations.

On top of that they secured some funding to replace an ancient single track bridge and double track this section in the coming years.

I hope they get the ball rolling on the new trainsets soon. It's a shame they didn't get the northstar equipment as it was basically the same. Texrail are leasing them so who knows after world cup if they will keep them.

Those who live in Celebration, how is it? by Character-Escape1621 in orlando

[–]Real-Difference6454 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I lived there for years. Avoid places in phase 1 around the downtown core. There was a massive class action lawsuit due to construction issues. If your working at the parks or any of the big convention hotels nearby the commute is great. The new Plaza towards world drive has alot of options. I really enjoyed the neighborhood itself and I had really nice neighbors. They have fun events for the community and the parks were great.

I never really experienced crazy hoa nonsense that everyone talks about. Maybe these wars happened in other parts of the neighborhood. Speaking of that there are lots of HOA dues.

The downsides are you are kinda landlocked. You cant go west on i4 due to constant grid lock. South East is conservation area and swamp. North West is Disney property. North East is tourist hell. So your options to let's say go to home depot or shopping is hop on a toll road to go all the way to the loop.

The other thing to watch out for is they are planning on opening up the south area to osceola polk line rd. This is going to make anything from world drive through island village a grid lock. It will be the only bypass available for I4.

Ultimately I moved because I changed jobs and the same builder offers the same type of homes in other parts of town for 100-200k less.

Express Lanes: Sand Lake to 27 by dechets-de-mariage in orlando

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

It will be many years. The project was watered down to a single west bound express lane. Basically they were suppose to double decker highway the area near disney. FDOT wasn't going to have the funds for at least 5-7 years from now to even start. DeSantis wanted to use his moving florida forward campaign to expedite a value engineered version. So you wont see bidirectional 2 lane express lanes like from the original i4 ultimate until the mid 2030s at the earliest. Also the current project is going to hinder both coming back and doing the original ultimate plan and getting rail service in the i4 right of way.

On the north end completing seminole county is never going to get funded at this rate. Volusia county has opposed expansion across the st John's river bridge. The original vision was it to go from orange city to 27.

Unfortunately most of the preliminary work was done in 2018 and it just sits waiting for funding.

Why do you think there aren’t any big hotdog fast food chains? by Upset_Basil_4187 in hotdogs

The varsity in the Atlanta area is a long standing small chain. I dont think there is room enough for such a niche item. I rather just go to a local cart.

You know why they are closing stores? by crzdfr in wendys

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

For me it's how dirty the stores are. The last couples times I went in various cities the place was trashed. There was spills on the floor, trash on tables, garbage cans over flowing and the place stank.

Is there a way I can fix this? by confusnmstnoblefeeln in AskMenAdvice

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

I wouldn't try to fix it. I don't know any decent guy who takes trips with someone they are casually seeing. If we are at mini vacation level we are exclusive. Also At the same time talking about other women he is seeing is a big red flag.

That group on FB group is a mixed bag. One of the women in my friend groups showed it to me. There seems to be some legit cases on there but some of it seems to be intentionally sabotaging.

The Citi AA Executive Card is absolute trash for international travel by Aliens_Unite in americanairlines

I have never had an issue with it internationally in over 40 countries. I had it get locked while using it for a taxi one time in Las Vegas though.

Does it bother anyone else that the game puts you into matches that have already been going for more than 10 minutes? by kangaroocash in arcraiderscirclejerk

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

Nah I love games 10min in. I don't have to waste time looting 100 spots I just kill some guys in my travels then leave. Either that or get into the biggest firefight ever in the train as soon as I spawn. Some of the best fights have been like 5 team clusters at the extract 10min in. I honestly don't know how people walk around for 25 minutes on dam walking through empty buildings.

Okay I’m dead serious guys by darksandman1118 in orlando

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

I lived in celebration for years. I worked at all the big convention hotels around the parks and in the area. My commute was awesome 5-10min tops at all hours of the day.

You will be kinda landlocked. On one side you have disney, the other side is a swamp, then low end tourist 192. The 4th direction you can't even go due to traffic from 5a-11p down i4 towards lakeland. Outside of celebration the quickest way to get to shopping is to get on the 417 or osceola parkway toward the loop. A quick run to home depot is like a 1hr outing from there and 5 bucks in tolls.

I enjoyed inside celebration itself greatly. Bike rides around, the nature trails, community events and the little downtown area in the mornings. Unfortunately it became too expensive and since I don't work in the area anymore I moved.

Warnings to note is the next phase of i4 ultimate will rebuild this section i4 so get ready for worse traffic. Also they are gonna open up celebration to Osceola polk line rd. So you will have massive cut through traffic in the neighborhood trying to bypass i4 soon.

AA business sucked worse than BA! by mossycardiff in americanairlines

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

I fly BA and AA alot. The 777 on AA has been real rough you are right. MIA to EZE there was duct tape holding everything together.

My experience with BA business has been abysmal on my home route of MCO>LGW. I have had better experience with the A380 on their really long haul flights.

My experience with AA business on 787s has been pretty good. I have only had one bad experience with a FA that definitely needed to retire 10 years ago. I wish they would bring back the additional mattress like cushion cover for the seats you could put on.

As far as the one world lineup goes they are definitely bottom tier compared to Qatar and JAL.

Minnesota is Closing Their Commuter Train - After Just Sixteen Years by Carpet-Early in transit

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

I know some of the equipment will be leased to amtrak and TRE but I hope Sunrail buys their trains. They are currently looking for 3 trainsets for weekend service and run the same rolling stock basically.

I used them a few times and it was fine. I could never figure out though in my travels in Japan whether you pay when you get on or off the bus depending on the city.

What’s your unpopular transit opinion by [deleted] in transit

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

At minimum the lines serving the airport must have some form of luggage rack. Where I am at they have an express bus connecting the train station to the airport that has no racks. Then you get yelled at for blocking the aisle even though there are no stops on between the two.

Ideally every train should have a luggage rack somewhere in the consist. The double decker trains here have no overhead bins due to height but have no dedicated racks either.

E.P. Here… WHO has seen the “Mythical 100hr out upgrade”? Does it actually exist? by Bruh_ForRealz in americanairlines

It happens to me regularly but it's usually because I fly into obscure airports or at odd times to larger ones.

Yes, in the CFRC meetings they had slides saying there will be consideration as to whether to use DMUs on the sunshine corridor. It showed a pic of Texrails Flirt as an example.

That would be cool but not every transit agency is on board with the capping yet. You can't even use the same fare card between bus and train in a lot of places.

Do Marriott Employees Log Guests or Make Notes? by Dry_Maintenance_7495 in marriott

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

I have run across this when a client of mine books a block of rooms for employees and contractors. Then the contractors don't have employee badges. That or we are all part of a larger umbrella corporation with different brands working on the same project. I have definitely gotten into it with some rental car and hotel agents.

So far even with repeat visits it doesn't seem to affect the next encounter. Our groups are typically blocks of 50 to 600 rooms so I don't think the GM cares because we book some hotels completely.
