FDOT: SunRail to DeLand could be bad investment

[battalion51]

Found this article/video online and thought it was pretty interesting. I think there's definitely some valid points, but in reality most folks are going to drive from home to the train station to access points down the line. Who knows maybe going to the DeLand station could spur some growth in the area...

I'm inclined to be slightly skeptical of DeLand as a terminus. If you put in a guaranteed, reasonably quick connection out to Daytona? Sure, even if it was a bus (and especially if it were to link to the FEC station, should that happen), you might be able to get enough ridership to . But I've been out there...DeLand is a long way from anywhere in many regards, and I don't think you can rely on a massive catchment area for it.
