At the end of May they finally got into Miami. The numbers should be understood to reflect that.
Understood. I simply reported the most recent data I could find.
Brightline in FL does not run much faster than the regular commuter train - “High Speed” is a marketing misnomer. 5mah more? Oh, at start-up there were lots of death/accidents.
Fewer stops than a commuter. Originally Miami, Ft Laud, maybe a couple in WPB area then eventually to Orlando. Now want to add another stop btwn O and WPB. The communities btwn O and WPB have tried everything they can to not have the train stop, or even go through their community, until now - $$$ is floating around FL style.
Lots of great perks at first that go quickly away. Parking becomes and issue. Uber/Lyft becomes a reality. Low cost disappears with the free parking. Being a single person/couple a trip from WPB to Mia for say $20 per might make sense for a short trip/museums/dinner/date. As your group gets larger the economies disappear.
