Open Access, American Style

On the issue of open access, this nation can learn from Great Britain's mistakes. A test run can be done in Florida where the state DOT can allow multiple entities to run passenger service on the same route. 

An example of what such a scenario would look like:

  • Amtrak runs the Cross-Florida and FEC Local services
  • Bombardier gets the Jacksonville-St. Petersburg A-Line and Jacksonville-Naples routes
  • First Transit has Jacksonville-Venice and Tampa-Venice
  • Herzog's lone route would be the Jacksonville-Miami A-Line
  • Keolis runs the Panhandle and Tampa-Naples routes
  • Transdev operates Miami and St. Petersburg S-Line routes out of Jacksonville
