Public rail-based transportation is actually growing faster than any other form of transportation around (see this month's issue of TRAINS magazine). Anyway, if Texas can establish a commuter rail line, I'm sure Florida can do something similar.
Gas isn't always going to be cheap (not that it's gonna get real expensive anytime soon). It's inevitable highway congestion will grow, too. Heavy rail projects are being developed around the country in response to an anticipated need for them in the future.
