The trip from West Palm to Miami is awesome. You get to drink and chill in first class accommodations. Way easier than driving.

I can’t wait to take it to Orlando. We have a voucher from when they canceled in early September for the FSU/LSU game. The drive to Orlando sucks.

How long between Miami and Orlando, and does it stop in Fort Lauderdale?

Brightline is awesome and shows what we should be doing with intercity rail --- build nice stations, run frequent trains, and develop the surrounding real estate to help pay for the service.

To all the other dumb comments, air travel and interstates are not great economic infrastructure decisions, they only work because the government pays for the infrastructure. Period. Other countries have better rail service because they invest in the infrastructure, no reason we can't have it here, its policy not, cost.

Have taken Brightline 50+ times for work between FLL and MIA. It's by far the best transportation we have and I cannot wait to take it to Orlando. It's pricey, but if you plan, you can get good deals. Hope they keep expanding it.
