maybe third time is a charm 🤣

 

twice they've announced, sold tickets and subsequently refunded those tickets as approval to operate was not yet in hand!

$160.00  Round trip from West Palm Beach to Orlando.(cheap seats)  I am hoping for some promotional pricing.

I am super excited for this!  I live in Ocala so while getting to Miami port via Brightline will take longer than by car - it will be so much more relaxing!  I feel like Brightline opens up the option to easily cruise from Port Everglades and Miami.

 

I think my first time using this option, I will take the train down the day before- but once I am comfortable with the process and how long things take - will go down day of.

And on first day they had one “suicide by train”.    Initial train to Orlando was running three hours late.    Need to keep that in mind when planning timing.   This was not a first time occurrence.   Happened multiple times.

rated the most dangerous track per mile in the US ..... don't matter who's fault it is if the train kills someone operations are gonna be shut down for a while to clean up and investigate.

 

I LIKE trains but I don't like companies that take shortcuts that endanger people

 

'high speed rail' has a legal definition and associated safety requirements .... google will get you answers/facts quickly ......
