Central Floridians for Public Transit

A community-led coalition working together to transform Central Florida’s quality of life with fast, frequent, and convenient public transit.

We are incredibly frustrated and sad that the Transportation Referendum failed. We worked hard but it wasn't enough. Still, we will continue to fight for better public transit in the ways that we can.

We’re advocating for a half-cent sales tax for sustainable transportation before the Orange County Charter Review Commission to consider for the 2024 ballot. Come out to the CRC meeting on 11/9, this Thursday, at 6 pm at Colonial High School, to give a public comment in support!

A whole fascinating thread. Getting around America should be just as easy.

It’s still not safe to walk or bicycle in Orlando proper

We’re expanding our toy collection, though

An area that the Japanese have really led on is public transportation. We got to tour the Bullet Train (Shinkansen)! I’m a huge rail stan and the entire operation blew my mind.

Hong Kong has the best public transit system in the world, because the corporation that owns the transit system also owns the adjoining land. This incentivizes the Hong Kong Mass Transit Rail (MTR) Corporation to invest in Transit-Oriented Development at a profit.

What happens when people take mass transit 💪💪☺️😍

Just watched a man bringing home a goldfish on the train accidentally pop the bag- fish flops onto the floor. 3 people swarm to save him (the fish not the man). Guy chugs the last of his coffee and throws the fish in his cup. Lady next to him empties in her bottle of water.
