Riding the Brightline Orlando to Miami | Brand NEW High Speed Train Full Route 

If it ever gets built lol...

No way!! That is too funny. I want to eat there too so I can watch the trains in real life 😂 thank you for watching!

125 mph is high speed in America. Brightline is high speed

Thank you!! 🥰🥰

It's already competitive with flying in its current state. Total travel time of a flight from MCO to MIA is ~2 hours 40 minutes - 3 hours in itself compared to Brightline's 3 hour 25 minute timetable. -1 hour pre-arrival at airport -1 hour flight -15/20 minutes of deboarding -20 minutes at baggage claim if you have checked luggage -20 minutes to traverse from MIA eastwards into downtown Miami where Brightline Miami central is conveniently located. November saw 93,184 passengers to/from MCO. That's ~3,106 passengers per day (over 30 days). A typical American Airlines Airbus A320 seats 150 passengers (a Spirit Airlines A320 174 passengers) - so I'll just use 170. Some planes carry more (like Spirit’s 228 passenger A321) while others carry less (like AA’s 128 passenger A321). Delta’s 737-800 carries 160 people so 170 is more than fair. That means it would take ~18 (3,106÷170) Airbus A320s to handle what Brightline is carrying per day. Here's the number of flights provided by some of the big airline companies to/from MCO & S FL per day (non-stop flights). American Airlines: 14 (7 south, 7 north) Delta: 6 (3 south, 3 north) Spirit: 5 (2 south, 3 north) Southwest: 4 (2 south, 2 north) American Airlines, with the highest count of planes per day, couldn't handle Brightline's traffic. Delta, Southwest, and Spirit combined couldn't handle Brightline's traffic.

What do you mean by weapons of destruction? Trains are far more destructive than cars or planes

a lot of people are ignorant, and dont understand that brightline has alot to take into account with rail authorities and the state + they need to share with freight trains.

High speed rail starts at 125 MPH on legacy track, so while Brightline is not HSR because it does its 125 MPH on brand new track, it at least matches the threshold. An average speed of 69 MPH is still great. Lastly, you talk about "$5 billion is not cheap" but then casually throw out it should've been electrified and be grade separated. This would've added BILLIONS (far more than 5) to complete and likely wouldn't have been done in the first place given the ~3 previous attempts in Florida. Europe has plenty of legacy lines that are not grade separated with passenger trains running on them. So let us not pretend every train is a 186+MPH/300 KMH electrified variant in other parts of the world..

@@Ven100 That's why governments build railways, left to themselves private companies cut corners to save money and get a return on their outlay as soon as possible. The UK has dozens of 125 to 140-mph trains, but it only has one HSR, the Eurotunnel train that runs at 186mph.

Technically it's higher speed rail rather than HSR.

It’s high speed by US standards. Second fastest in the country topping out at 125mph.

70% occupant to date, some completely sold out. They are expanding the trains themselves. And you're comparing a comfortable train vrs Amtrak (which loses money) which often delayed because freight has priority/

The crossing and electricity have nothing do to with HSR. Acela is HSR and goes through crossings

@@lalakerspro How fast does Acela go? On on how many miles on the route? Believe me, it‘s not true HSR if it has level crossings. At least not by European standards. Why are they building all those viaducts etc for HSR in California - because that‘s gonna be the first real HSR in the US.

@philipkudrna5643 the crossings part is nonsense. Acela does have crossings, but only 6 or 7 the whole route. Even CAHSR will have crossings, but it's still a High speed rail. Maybe not in the section with crossings, but overall still HSR

European standards has high speed rail start at 200 KMH/125 MPH just like the USA does. It just needs to be on upgraded legacy track and not the brand new section Brightline runs on. At 125 MPH, level crossings are not allowed in the USA - just like they aren't allowed in Europe. They are allowed at lower speeds and there a number of examples of passenger rolling stock (including HSR rolling stock) traversing level crossings at said lower speeds.

Stupid country? Guarantee its a lot better then Nepal. Rail development is slow because we have cars. Theres many countries outside the US that dont have have any rail at all. Wheres nepal high speed rail?

Really? "Stupid Country?" Ya might wanna check your low-class ego! Which how many trains around the world travel at 225? I can think of only one.

The fact that this train goes 125 MPH and became a household name is exactly why they got government funds to now build a 200 MPH train from SoCal to Vegas.
