BEFORE THE L TRAIN WAS TERRIBLE, IT WAS HORRIBLE.
LAST YEAR, Altamonte Springs, Florida, a suburb of Orlando, learned that it could not use the $1.5 million it had designated for FlexBus, a bus service whose fleet would be dispatched according to user demand indicated via kiosks. The city had a SunRail commuter train station, but also the first-mile–last-mile problem many municipalities face: For residents who don’t live next to the station, getting there was a commute. And if you’re already driving a decent distance to light rail in Altamonte Springs, you might as well keep going and drive yourself to Orlando.
