    I tried this Brightline service to travel between Fort Lauderdale and Miami recently and was just SO impressed. It would be AMAZING if this was more 'standard' across the US - it made travelling by train feel so ridiculously luxurious - it was so so good!

      Tampa won't be happening for 10-15+ years. They need to go to Universal and Disney first in Orlando (sharing track with a new Sunrail airport extension), Buddy Dyer (mayor of Orlando) said in the Business Journal they were looking at 2035 IF the transportation tax got approved (it didn't). Looks like Brightline needs Sunrail in order to progress any further. I don't want to be pessimistic but Tampa might not ever happen. I see Jacksonville to Orlando and Miami happening before Tampa.

    I was in Asia and Europe. When you come back home to the US you really miss the train for long distance travel and super fast. Its amazing how super efficient it is there, and speeds in Asia as high as 320 mph

    We did Brightline FLL to Miami presidents week on a cloudy/rainy day. I took my daughter shopping. I booked premium as it included the 4 Ubers I needed. Hotel- station- Lincoln rd - back to hotel.
    We had snacks in the lounge and train.

    Definitely worth it! We took it from Orlando to Ft Lauderdale to catch a cruise for Christmas and cost us a fraction of what other forms of transportation were pricing out at.

      The prices they showed were not the average prices and if you look often on the website, there’s specials quite often possible if you sign up for the emails they are to for specials. So I found a $22 smart class Orlando to Miami and a $39 special from Orlando to Miami.

      Also, it helps if you either check the website often or sign up with your email to be alerted to specials and then be a bit flexible with their times and get your ticket several weeks or more in advance. I was able to buy a $22 ticket from Orlando to Miami and a $39 ticket from Orlando to West Palm.

    The Price she put on the screen was more than the average price and the three times I traveled round-trip from Orlando. I was able to find a special every time my last time I found $22 each way another time I found $39 each way the other time I tried premium, but I found a special.
    The Way to find specials is go on the website a lot or or sign up with the email so your alerted to their specials

    Honestly I think if they want people to use the bright line for their cruise instead of driving they need to lower the price. I priced out a few different dates to go to my cruise destination and it was more than it would cost to park my car in the garage at the cruise port.

    Brightline is relatively new, but already is losing boatloads of money. It also has killed more than 65 people at street crossings. It will soon be begging the federal government for a handout, which will last forever - if it is granted.
