Imo, the problem isn't the fare, it's the service and how it fits with the corridor it serves. It needs reduced headways, more infill, an airport connection and more coordination with local bus routes to grow ridership. However, this will take more money.

The lack of an airport connection made no sense even back then. It was such a short connection in the grand scheme of things from the Sand Lake stop. They had ROW to use along the Beachline and even could have connected it to I-Drive which would get huge numbers of people riding to the Convention Center from MCO. Universal and Sea World basically pick up from I-Drive and most hotels have shuttles to Disney. It is so close to being a great route but instead drops you off nowhere off Sand Lake Road.
