Why not Tampa?

 

A new fairly fast (I don't know if I'd call it a bullet train) train from Orlando to Miami just started operations.  That's pretty cool.

But I wonder why they didn't also extend it to Tampa (or if it's in their plans).  Because that would link major tourist destinations in Florida together. 

Brightline opens $6 billion line to Orlando, expands U.S. rail market

"Sally Patrenos, president of advocacy group Floridians for Better Transportation, said the Miami-Orlando corridor is an ideal spot for the investment in a rail connection that she said has potential to reduce congestion and give locals and visitors the option to skip traffic."
