The biggest turkey on Thanksgiving Day will be SunRail,
because as riders know, SunRail will be closed on Thursday. Yes, another missed
opportunity to show residents their tax dollars at work, and also make it
easier for people to visit relatives in other parts of Central Florida.
Even though SunRail is shut down for Thanksgiving, the LYNX
bus system will be running – on a holiday schedule – but it will be running.
Public transportation isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity! Everybody doesn’t have
Thanksgiving off. Sadly SunRail’s schedule has little regard for people who
work in hospitality, hospitals, the airport and other essential services.
This Friday presents a unique opportunity to ride SunRail because
many people have the day off from work and school, and SunRail will be running. While many people will be riding the train to
get to malls and shop in the big box stores, we also want to encourage riders
to make a special effort to visit small businesses along the SunRail corridor
because Saturday, Nov. 28th, is Small
Business Saturday. And SunRail doesn’t run on the weekends.
Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and all
the businesses that advertise on our website and Facebook pages are small
businesses. Those owners and employees are grateful for your support on Friday,
Saturday and every day.
See you on The Rail!
