I never would've predicted Florida of all places to have something as good as the brightline. Great work!

You are right about that! Especially when it comes to South Florida. The elevation is only 6 feet which means trains cannot be built underground. And this has only occurred because of so many torrential rain storms that has happened here. And don't even get me started on this Aventura Station. You will LITERALLY walk 20 minutes from the mall to the station (especially if it's hot with high humidity). And there is no walkway to connect from the station to the mall. Brightline should definitely fix that, but otherwise, it's a great train company!

@@bernardfriedman532The shuttle for Brightline's Aventura station to the mall could be a little better. They used to have tracking for it, but these days it is so patchy. It is great for station to the mall, but very uncertain for mall to the station.

@@bernardfriedman532 They are going to build a covered elevated walkway between the station and the mall. Probably in the permitting state. The station was designed to accommodate it. If you notice the low level platform at Adventura next to (south of) BL's high level. The South Florida Transit agency plans to build Northeast corridor commuter rail there too (2026?) hence the low-level platform. No word on who will operatate it (Tri-rail)?

This is the best video I have watched about train travel between Miami and Orlando. You did a wonderful job of making the video long and showing details about the entire trip. Children and even adults were too noisy but this is not your fault but the parents . Brighlgline needs to offer a quiet car or enforce its own rules.

What's up, man! I'm glad that you had fun traveling to Orlando. The video reminded me about the LYNX Bus ride on Route 350 from Disney Springs to LYNX Central Station. BTW, have you heard about the new Tri-Rail Shuttle service from Metrorail Transfer Station to the MiamiCentral (located inside the Brightline Station).
@HOUExplorer8 ай бұрын
What’s up man! Yes, I did heard the new Tri Rail Shuttle (or Gold Line) has opened between Metrorail/Tri Rail Station and MiamiCentral Station. It is about time! I’ll take a train ride from there soon. Also, I heard there is a long skybridge that connects between Metrorail Government Center and MiamiCentral Station.

Although I do think the Brightline extension should have run through Downtown Orlando instead of the airport (considering it connects the Downtown areas of all the other places it runs through e.g. Miami, Fort Lauderdale & West Palm Beach - although if SunRail opens to the airport with a direct Downtown Orlando connection, it would be a good compromise for that) before later running to the Convention Center, the theme parks (Universal & Disney) & eventually Tampa, its still nice to see a modern intercity railway like this being developed in the USA. And looking at some of the modern facilities the train has, train companies back here in the UK could definitely take note of that (especially the on board service & reliability). But anyway, great video & analysis and greetings from across the pond in England.

DIsney World really ought to consider extending their monorail line so that it connects with Brighline when it is eventually extended from the airport station through the Orlando region before it reaches Tampa.

Father who made this KZbin knows nothing about evaluating travel. Show how much room there is behind the seat fully laid down and then where's the tray table Lord can you open your laptop computer or does it hit the full back? Those are the things you wanna know about the comfort of seating that really matters. 2---1 otherwise or two two seating otherwise looks like a bus.
