Tonight the stakes will be very high.
Both the news media and the SunRail and mass transportation
haters will be paying very close attention to the SunRail night train service
that begins tonight.
Even though tonight will be the first day for the new
schedule the critics are licking their lips ready to declare the night train a
failure because no one is riding. You can believe that future expansion of
SunRail service (weekend service and more trains during the day) hinges on the
success of the night train.
Other communities, such as our neighbors in Tampa Bay who
desperately want to expand their mass transit offerings, will be paying close
attention too. Let’s show them what SunRail riders can do!
We need to show the haters that our community fully
embraces this new SunRail schedule, and mass transit in general (including Lynx
and Votran).
There are lots of places to go and things to do tonight,
including the multiplex movie theater in downtown Orlando, dining and fun in
downtown Orlando, downtown Winter Park, downtown Lake Mary and downtown Sanford.
And so to quote Lisa Minnelli: “What good is sitting alone in your room? Come
hear the music play…”
Remember the way we all rode during the #RideBlkFri campaign? Let’s ride like
that again tonight and every night this train is running. Let’s get your
coworkers and neighbors out there on SunRail tonight. And when you ride, please
post photos under the hashtag #NightTrain
The last southbound SunRail train will leave DeBary at 9:05
p.m. and the last northbound SunRail train will leave Sand lake Road at 10:20
p.m. For a detailed schedule visit www.SunRail.com
See you on The Rail.
