Florida's Brightline to Launch Jan. 13
As Passenger Transport went to press, Brightline—the nation’s only privately funded and operated intercity passenger rail system, serving South Florida—was preparing for the Jan. 13 launch of service between Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach.
Introductory service will feature 10 daily roundtrips during the weekdays and nine on the weekends; each trip takes about 35 minutes. The company expects to extend service into downtown Miami later in coming months and begin construction on Phase 2, connecting to the Orlando International Airport, later this year.
“We are thrilled to have South Florida preview Brightline with the launch of introductory service,” said Patrick Goddard, president and chief operating officer. “We believe the comfort and convenience of our travel experience paired with premium hospitality will set a new standard for passenger rail service. Our team will continue to ramp up operations as we prepare to fully launch this transformative new infrastructure asset for South Florida.”
