Brightline prepares to expand its high speed rail in Florida with a new Orlando to Miami line. What's it like to ride the Brightline, though? And how do they plan on attracting an American audience not used to rail travel?
When Brightline opened its Orlando train station at the Orlando International Airport last week, it came one step closer to connecting Central and South Florida with high speed rail. Starting this summer trains will run daily from Orlando International Airport to 6th Street in downtown Miami, topping out at 125 miles per hour, and passing through Brightline’s other stations at West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, and Aventura along the way.
“It’s sort of embarrassing, to be honest,” he says. “But this is a golden opportunity. There’s never been a better moment in time to start thinking about intercity passenger rail in the United States, and what we’re doing in Florida is laying a blueprint for the rest of the country on how this can actually be done. And we’re doing it with private dollars.”
Stations are a little impersonal but still comfortable, like the lobby of a hotel that wants to look both stylish and professional. It all has more charm and personality than a typical airport terminal, and even the Smart Lounge feels like an airline’s private club . If you didn’t spring for Premium, you can buy snacks at an automated convenience store found in every Brightline station. They also all have a bar called Mary Mary that serves beer, wine and craft cocktails alongside small bites.
