Click here to see a video shot at a SunRail meeting showing an official explaining that it will cost $5.5 million to run the train on
weekends.
Keep in mind that almost no public transit system anywhere
in the world pays all of its operating expenses through rider fares. Some
subsidy is almost always needed to pay for buses and trains.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott has already refused to pick up the
extra expenses for weekend operations. Lobbying Scott is a waste of time. If we’re
going to get SunRail running on weekends we have to come up with the money locally.
How would you raise the money needed to run SunRail on Saturdays and Sundays?
