Lake Nona is slated to have the Ultimate Public Transportation System
The new levitating magnet train, now looks like it may finally happen …
Great news for Orlando and Lake Nona homeowners. The company responsible for the privately funded magnet train, planned to link the Orlando International Airport and International Drive, has announced an aggressive timetable that puts the first trains in service by 2016.
The first phase will be a small circulator route connecting the Orange County Convention Center and its surrounding hotels in short, slow speed route.
A larger route linking I-Drive to The Florida Mall, the Sand Lake SunRail station and OIA will open by 2017.
Tickets will be separate from SunRail. A one way ticket between the airport and the Orange County Convention Center is reported to cost around $16 one way with a ticket on the I-Drive circulator reportedly costing $6 per trip.
On another note, a social media statement from the private company behind the proposed train system, announced future plans to stretch the magnet levitation train all the way to Clearwater Beach, out to UCF and through Lake Nona.
In any case, we should see major work to start this fall with a ground breaking sometime this summer of 2015.
