Brightline Launches High-Speed Service Connecting South Florida and Orlando; Inaugural Train Hits Pedestrian

  • Brightline launches its high-speed train service from South Florida to Orlando today. The line will connect stations in Miami, Aventura, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach to Orlando International Airport.

  • Tickets from Miami to Orlando range from $79 to almost $300 for a one-way Brightline ticket. Prices start at $79 for Smart tickets and rise to $270 for some Premium tickets.

  • A Brightline train fatally struck a pedestrian in Delray Beach Friday morning, just before the inaugural Miami to Orlando train left. The accident was on different tracks so it didn't impact northbound service.

  • Peter Vansiclen accidentally caught the first Brightline from Fort Lauderdale to Orlando after missing his planned Tri-Rail. He called Brightline a much quicker option than Tri-Rail.

  • Brightline officials received a key to Orlando and met cheerleaders as the inaugural train arrived at Orlando International Airport station.
