Brightline Tickets Now Available For Sale
Brightline has launched sales of tickets for the new train service between Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach.
There are two pricing tiers available – $10 and $15.
Initial service starts January 13, and runs 10 to 11 times a day between the two cities. The trip is blocked at 40 minutes.
The $15 ticket includes complimentary snacks and beverages, wider seats, and access to a lounge.
There will also packs and passes, including monthly, 7-day, weekend and 10 rides. An annual pass with unlimited travel is also offered for business travelers. Prices were not available.
That’s not bad for rapid intercity transit. And 40 minutes is very good time for that speed, it means they really maintain that 79 mph top speed the whole time.
OT: Anyone else constantly refresh around 1pm for the day’s upload?
Can’t wait till it expands to Orlando and Tampa
And hopefully Jacksonville as well.
Get Miami hooked in and we’re getting somewhere…
Really curious to see their pricing for WPB – Miami, and Broward – Miami. As the first major private passenger rail to open in – I don’t know, forever – it’s going to be extremely interesting to see how the market responds to their strategy and vice versa.
Eager to try Miami – Broward. Station is reasonable walk to/from Broward Center.
and from /to the Lots of new residential buildings in the Flagler Village.
better pound those drinks for the short ride.. :/
These are introductory prices. They won’t last at this price, unfortunately; however, once it’s all fully connected it will make more sense to charge more. This should be an interesting one to watch.
This article is a bit misleading. You failed to mentioned that this pricing is 100% introduction-only pricing and not the actual pricing.
and by “a bit”, I mean “completely”.
Nice but I thought it was supposed to be a 30 minute ride.
Hopefully the actual service is better than their roll out strategy.
Quick someone film and send into NowYouKnow Tesla show on YouTube!!!
Wrong article.
The $15 ticket includes complimentary snacks and beverages.
Ill take the $10 ticket and bring some dollar menu Mcdonalds in my bad and a bottle water from home.
…and the website glitches out.
I give 18 months until they realize they can charge at least $20 in South Florida for the Smart Service, hopefully pricing doesn’t move much on the basic service.
Yea! Go Brightline! Miami needs to get in to the 21st Century already. Can’t wait until MiamiCentral comes online. It’ll help me in deciding if I really want to drive up to Ft Lauderdale to meet up with friends at rush hour. The BL station in FLL is in such a great central location.
21st Century !!!???? LMAO !!!!!! more like the 1930’s !!
Fantastic!!!! Small town Suburban haters most be in physical pain.
???
First they said it was never going to happen, now they claim it wont survive because people in South Florida will never use public transportation.
Well, how can you speak of its performance when it hasn’t even started?
