But there's one thing for sure, there were not that many people wanting a one seat ride from Texas or California to Florida, hopefully there will be more demand for a one seat ride from Chicago and the Midwest to Florida.To me, it gets rid of the current necessity to ride northeast to Washington if you are trying to connect to Chicago to go west. My gut feeling is that having to go far out of the way to get where you're going (given the existence of competing offers that don't do that) is a strike against any mode of transportation, especially since rail doesn't offer the speed of air travel which mitigates the inconvenience of strange routings.
