Brightline Ready to Run the Fast Trains in Florida
The privately funded Brightline "fast-travel" rail system announced an opening day of May 19 for service between Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach.
"If you’re interested in a half-hour, one-way ride to Fort Lauderdale or an hourlong zip to West Palm Beach, Saturday, May 19 — no turning back now, Brightline — is officially when regular service will begin to and from downtown’s MiamiCentral station," reports Martin Vassolo.
Reporters on hand for a ribbon cutting even got to take the inaugural ride "departing from MiamiCentral to Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach." The article includes more details about the service—like fare prices, parking information, and more.
