Yeah except the ticket prices are like $80+ per person, per direction.
One person maybe worth it just to save the headache, but as soon as you add one more person it just doesn't make sense to not drive unfortunately.... the gas for the trip would only be ~$50 round trip.
That's true, it's definitely not the cheapest solution, especially for a family of four. But there are a lot of single people and couples who would rather relax for a few hours than deal with I95. You're essentially paying for convenience. Hopefully the prices will adjust once it gets out of the early adoption phase. The Orlando Tampa line will be a godsend to not have to deal with I4.
Hopefully Orlando-Tampa will be cheaper
I mean I'm glad we're getting the option but I just can't think of any realistic scenario I'd use it at that price. Over $300 if my SO and I wanted to take a trip down to Miami, vs $50 in gas... and it's barely faster.
I hate this state
