    How many are a final destination? Orlando is a big hub for planes coming from South America and Atlanta is the biggest US hub, so probably a lot of people flying that route are connecting and wouldn’t make a lot of sense to get a plane ticket and then a train and then another flight

      It would absolutly make sense ? Especially if there are night trains that go slower and can help you get rest without paying an hotel.

        It makes sense if you are going to Atlanta or Orlando, not if you are just connecting somewhere else

        Don’t get me wrong, I love trains and I’d love to see a big network of high speed trains

      ATL is the second largest hub in the US after Chicago?

      If you can fly pretty much anywhere from ATL in the world.
