The region is also a tourist hub, which makes it likely that a Tampa-Orlando rail line will be well-used by Americans from around the country. That makes it a smart advertisement for other high-speed-rail projects back in their home regions. (Read "A Brief History of High-Speed Rail...
Florida's project is also an optimal test case, having already been approved by the state and relatively free of red tape.
