If you live in Florida, then you likely already know about the Brightline train, which brought lightning-fast service to different cities in South Florida. Living in South Florida, I see the speeding train whizzing by at different hours of the day. And while getting to places like West Palm Beach and Boca Raton has been a breeze, a new train is connecting two major cities in the state - Miami and Orlando. The new Brightline train, now running between Miami and Orlando, is changing how we travel in Florida! This high-speed wonder, zipping along at a cool 125 miles per hour, connects two major cities in the Sunshine State and offers a faster alternative to the typical car ride. In just three and a half hours, you'll be in Orlando, saving you around 30 minutes compared to driving.
Brightline's Miami to Orlando route is a game-changer in Florida's transportation landscape. The high-speed train whisks passengers between these two major cities in just three and a half hours, beating the average car travel time by half an hour.
With speeds of up to 125 miles per hour, it's a fast and efficient choice. Comfortable amenities and competitive ticket pricing make it an appealing option for travelers and commuters alike, promising a brighter future for intercity rail in the United States.
Brightline made history as the first private passenger rail to launch in the United States in over a century back in 2018, when it connected Miami and West Palm Beach.
The success of Brightline in Florida could pave the way for a remarkable shift in American passenger rail travel.
What's even more exciting is that the tickets are quite reasonable. Brightline also offers discounts for families and larger groups, making it an excellent choice for both solo travelers and those journeying with loved ones.
Plus, the Brightline stations and amenities are top-notch as well. You can add on drinks while you trek, shuttle service when you arrive, and so much more.
