New Brightline high-speed train links Miami and Orlando 

Now if we could get this to more cities. You can bet the car, gas, airline lobbyist would be in full force to stop it. We need more options even if they are not high speed. Love to be able to take a train down to California from AZ .

The United States needs more trains. Bravo!!!!

PLEASE STOP CALLING TRAINS THAT GO LESS THAN 155 MPH HIGH SPEED RAIL. IT'S NOT!!! That being said, Im completely supportive of what Brightline is doing in rhe USA. I hope there new proposed project between Vegas and SoCal becomes reality.

This is so exciting but that seems a little long for the trip, right? Can't wait for San Antonio to Houston to Dallas to San Antonio.

I think what people fail to see in this is that this is just the start of something greater in the future for transportation. Seeing the people thinking that it is blasphemous for the time to travel is about the same as a flight or a car ride doesn't see the bigger picture. Cars have to deal with actual manual travel with the addition of potential delays with crashes on the interstate or large congestions, and even just the potential of the car needing gas or a break in between travel. Traveling by plane is similar in travel time despite the travel time difference, you have to obviously account for a numerous amount of factors including TSA Security, arriving at the airport two hours prior per domestic flights, boarding AND deplaning after. You can buy a low-cost flight like Spirit or Frontier, but those obviously comes with added fees with those carriers. So in the end, whichever you prefer in forms of travel, Brightline's 125 mph rides from ORL to MIA feels refreshing and can be improved upon in the years to come. Moreover, true high speed rail is possible on the west coast, and I do hope with this addition now, the allure of high speed rail can be expanded upon elsewhere.

Huge progress for the USA, well done American! But compared to European, Japanese an and Chinese high speed train standard, which average above 300km, lots of need to catch up.

So happy to hear that. Please make sure it will meet European standards . Look at Pendolino in Poland . Luxury and pleasure in one package , still affordable . Bravo Florida .

We're celebrating a diesel train in 21st century. Only in the US of A. LOL!

Now Florida Man can create havoc more quickly.

200km/hour!!!??? High speed what !!!??? 😂😂😂😂 world class what !!!???😂😂😂 20 years project !!!??? Really !!!??? 😂😂😂😂😂

Too slow. Need true High Speed Rail.

It is not a high speed train.

This is not high speed, it’s not electrified, it’s not double tracked, and it’s not even grade separated

we should call this higher speed train instead of high-speed train. there is conceptual difference between these two. The engineering challenges are not even comparable. Like our so called 5G network, 5G spots would be more appropriate per my experience in the Bay area. We are so behind on these key infrastructures, sadly

I’ve lived right down the street from Brightline tracks for the past five years. I see the trains close up, day and night, when the inside lights are on, and hardly ever see any passengers on the train.

Why is there no Electrification?

6 days, 2 strikes and counting 😢

That’s so slow and so expensive……. Should learn from China. I’m just saying….

I hear they want a stop at Disneyland. That’s sure to boost ridership through the roof!

Needs to go to Tampa.

Almost makes me want to go to Miami .... almost!

Indonesia have WHOOSH train 217mile/hour. enjoy our HIGH SPEED & HIGH TECH train US$15 for 103mile travel America people can come to Indonesia to ride most fast train in the world

going to orlando soon im so happy i dont have to pay for uber to get to miami

Does it use existing tracks or new tracks?

How is California high speed train doing?

How fast can you drive this route? It is high speed!

Wouldn't really call Brightline the "safer" option given all the crossing accidents they seem to have (in fact, one just one the same day the Orlando service started). Humans will always try to cheat death. Brightline should have gotten rid of all those crossings.

79$ for 3.5 hours? That's a bit much don't ya think?

That girl wearing the same style shirt like mine

The highest speed of the line is only 200km/h. If that can be called "high speed"... And it is still fuel driven.

Might as well call it the drug train because it's really replacing a main drug corridor.

It's a joke.... Ask what it costs no one rides it....

235 miles in 3.5 hours is an average speed of around 67mph...not exactly high speed.

Americans called it a high speed trains. It runs only 125 miles per hour. A joke of the century !😂😂

Not that high speed, and not affordable.

Brightline is still fooling passengers into thinking this train is going to be 'high speed', it will be doing 79mph not 155mph.

Dont use the train , just film it . Thank you.

"high speed"

Looks pretty slow ! ...LoL

Woke idea?????????????????

We need rail bad but this is WAY TO EXPENSIVE.

According to the Federal Railroad Administration, Brightline has received a total of $530 million in CRIS grants as of August 4, 2023. Brightline is currently seeking a $3.75 billion federal grant through the Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail Grant Program (FSP). It is important to note that tax-exempt bonds are a public-private partnership, and the savings to Brightline are ultimately borne by taxpayers. SO MUCH FOR A "PRIVATE MONEY" RAILROAD
