This is great!
I'm a huge fan of rail transit, and have made use of the Sunrail on occasion to go from Sanford to work downtown.
I will likely be doing the same with this thing, as long as the price isn't over-the-top.

This is great. Think it will be done in 6 months?

It will be ready in 2020 when the new terminal opens up at MCO. The West Palm Beach to Fort Lauderdale was supposed to start this month followed by Miami early 2018. Those reports came out last month, but I don’t think they are selling tickets yet. The trains have been doing test runs though.

I’ve seen the trains go by several times on their test runs. Very nice looking machines.

Super excited for this! This is as close to a bullet train as we can get in FL!

It just went by again in Delray! I think it was Brightline Green. Really quick ad not very noisy.

I have heard that the train are pretty silent. That could mean deadly if people are not paying attention.

The train is quiet as a passenger, but outside the train is a ear crushing blow horn going off every 30 seconds. I went to FLL to ride it to Miami. Nicest train experience I’ve ever had and I’ve been on trains around the world.

How are the seats? Are they similar to Amtrak? Amtrak has amazing coach seats.
