Maybe Our Railroads Need Some Robber Barons - Is Florida’s Brightline a remedy for our ailing rail system?

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
I'm not saying it shouldn't be safer. I would much rather see Amtrak there, in large part because of their safety record. What I'm saying is that Bright line is still safer than cars. So yes, ensure Bright line increases its safety standards, but it's not a reason to argue against expansion of the Brightline network (unless, for instance, you want to argue for Amtrak expansion instead - then I would be on board), as it still is shifting people from a more dangerous to a safer mode of transit, even if there is plenty of room for improvement in that safer mode of transit.
