After a few small delays in launch due to testing and certification tests, the Brightline express train will finally begin operations on September 22nd, which will connect the cities of Miami and Orlando in 3 hours and 30 minutes. Why is this train the best option?
The train will operate 16 daily frequencies each day, stopping at Brightline stations at the Port of Miami, Aventura, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach and Orlando Airport (MCO).
Brightline invested more than $5 billion to build the stations and rail lines between Orlando and Miami.
Fares start at $79 for adults in the SMART class and $39 for children in the same category. Then there are options starting at $149 for travelers in the PREMIUM category, which includes access to the executive lounges at the stations, checked baggage, and free snacks and drinks.
Why travel from Miami to Orlando on the Brightline Express Train?
The Brightline express train offers several advantages over other options. There is, for example, another way to travel between the two cities by train, this one Trains Amtrak only offers a few connections per day and the trip takes between 5 and 7 hours, compared to 3 hours and 30 minutes for Brightline.
In addition, Brightline offers free shuttle service to and from Miami and Fort Lauderdale airports, as well as Inter Miami’s stadium during the club’s home games at DVR PNK Stadium.
In addition, the train will decongest highways and allow both locals and tourists to travel from one city to another without having to rent a car due to traffic jams that can extend travel time to more than 4 hours.
In addition, it is cheaper and easier than traveling by plane. Although the flight between Miami and Orlando takes about an hour, we have to add the transfer times to the airports, the (at least) hour before arrival at the terminals before the departure of the flights and the cost of the tickets, which are much higher, of the train.
