Anyone have a Non paywalled article?

That price seems pretty steep, compared to the $8 worth of tolls and $20-30 worth of gas and around the same time it takes.

There are a lot more costs to a car besides gas and tolls that add to the cost of that trip. But even besides that, you get to take 3.5 hours of your life back doing things that you can't do while you're driving.

it could have been cheaper if it were mass adopted and subsidized enough

Probably. I do travel around that distance a couple times a year, stop only for washrooms and petrol as needed.

u should be athletic af to achieve that kind of feat!

scala, 7 months ago

Do I? We usually travel with pets. So manatee rest stops for them. Usually try and go 2-3 hours at a time.

at least fit…ah i see. maybe i also assumed u would do it with one stop at most. Well, truck drivers drive 11 hours per day for a living, with half an hour at most for a stop. If a ride is comfy enough, and has automatic, a trip would be all smooth sailing.

Exactly. Makes it easier when my Partner takes over after a long stint.

Yes the pricing is not for locals. Its for tourists that fly in. Lots of people fly in for Disney in Orlando and Miami for beaches or cruises. Now a tourist can hit both cities without flying again or renting a car.
