Walt Disney World has significantly better transit than most cities in the US.

Its 12-train-set monorail, 325 buses would make it the 16th most ridden transit system in the nation.

America's fantasy world, it turns out, is a place you can get around without getting into a car. 🧡

@straphanger Wait, i could have sworn somebody told me public transit wasn't cost effective or efficient? πŸ€”

@Karstan @straphanger here's the thing: it's not really public if it's behind a gate and costs a day's pay to cross that gate.

@crashglasshouses @straphanger Agreed! I believe that's the underlying premise to the point being made by OP. People are willing to pay a lot of money to access this place that has this kind of transport.

And what I was intending to imply with my tongue-in-cheek joke is that Disney has a financial incentive to implement the most cost effective and efficient transportation in their private little fiefdom. They could have chosen something like golf-carts for everyone on little highways.

@Karstan @straphanger omg what chaos and carnage that would be, if they let people drive golf carts all over Disney World. they can barely drive normal cars on normal streets.

@Karstan @straphanger

i wonder if the people who said "let's build trains" at Disney World first thought "we could have themed golf carts running on a track all over... wait, that's a train, let's just build trains."
