#SaturdaySunRail starts Oct.8, just in time to provide
easy transportation to the Come Out With Pride Festival at
downtown Orlando’s Lake Eola.
During the big reveal on Thursday morning officials
explained that between October and February SunRail will run Saturdays -- generally
between 2 p.m. to 11 p.m. Expect the schedule to change on a weekly basis to
support large-scale events.
Stakeholders ranging from the Orlando Magic to Florida Hospital
raised $250,000 to get #SaturdaySunRail started, but more money is needed.
There’s even an opportunity for average people to put their money where their
mouths are to help with sponsorships of $35 or more. To help sponsor

Two years ago SunRailRiders led the petition campaign
to get weekend service so we were happy to attend the official announcement of
#SaturdaySunRail.
This new service is not perfect. The #SaturdaySunRail
schedule supports leisure events, but it does little for
the people who need SunRail to get to work in the hospitality industry, hospitals
and Orlando International Airport.
Right now it’s critical that people take advantage of
this Saturday service to encourage the political will necessary to expand
Saturday service hours and begin Sunday service.
See you on The Rail.
Is the fee the same as during the week?
