Hey George, were still a cow town and we don't want to spend any of our hard earned money on a stupid rail system that won't take a single working stiff to work and back.

It would be better to start with a monorail from OIA to Disney. Have a few stops along the way. Later another route along I-Drive to Universal, then maybe to downtown. The subway systems up north started with a few routes then added on as moeny and need dictated.

This would be a far better approach. An "old school" train running north to south from Deland to Poinciana makes zero sense. The only population it would reach are those who live within a few miles of the line. Everyone else will still have to drive their cars.
