The long-awaited (seriously, we’ve been tracking the progress of this project for YEARS) Brightline highspeed train line from Orlando to Miami just reached a HUGE milestone. Let’s talk about it!

Construction on the Brightline Orlando Station is complete! Soon, nonstop trains will connect Orlando to Miami in a two-hour and fifty-nine-minute trip. Additionally, Brightline’s regular service trains will stop at Brightline’s other South Florida stations in three hours and thirty minutes.

Brightline Terminal C Train Construction

Brightline is reporting that train rides between Orlando and West Palm Beach will take about two hours. According to Brightline, the current schedule between Central and South Florida will include 16 daily round-trips, with hourly northbound and southbound departures.

Tickets

Tickets for rides between Miami and Orlando will go on sale in May for future dates. Corporate travel packages are available for presale now; you can visit the Brightline website to purchase tickets.
