Brightline Florida, Miami to West Palm Beach, 4K Train Ride

Brightline (train model: 2017 Siemens Charger SCB-40) is a private intercity railway company that travels between Miami (MiamiCentral Station), Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach. In 2022, Brightline will expand to Orland Florida (station by Orland International Airport).

OPINION 💬:
In my opinion, this is the BEST intercity rail line I have ever ridden in the United States. I've ridden Amtrak and Amtrak Acela (between Washington DC to New York City) and the service was mediocre. But Brightline sets higher expectations because of there excellent, friendly, and professional customer services. The staff on the train and stations are friendly. The attendants on the train enjoys their job in serving their customers. I look forward Brightline expansion to Orland and from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. I hope Amtrak can learn many lessons from Brightline.

20:47 Thank you for being honest about Amtrak and Brightline

[TheTransitChannel]

Great Video Man! Glad to hear you are back! Yesterday I have got a new 2020 Gillig Bus from Broward County Transit on Route 31! I hope you have a great time in the beautiful sunshine states! It's starting to get warmer! Your videos never gets old!

[jeremywendelin]

Such a cool train! We need more like Brightline in the USA

[TheTransitChannel]

You've almost got 2K subscribers. You deserve it Man!!!. I LOVE YOU! And stay healthy and strong. Take care! 🐚✌💪♥🥰

I wish you would focus a little more on the recycle bins on the train. I think some people who are really into nature and the environment would like to know about that. I really enjoyed your video exclamation go bright line!!!

[TheRailwayDrone]

It is so GREAT to see an American train that looks like this. Also, you were SPOT ON about Amtrak. I really wish Brightline took over the Northeast Corridor. They'd likely provide better trains AND better service.

9:41 Interesting Trivia. At this point for a couple of miles north the tracks split Dixie Highway, the east side is one way northbound, and the west is one-way southbound.

At 13:37 There's barricades at that railway crossing. Wondered if that is one of the many grade crossings the FEC/Brightline is closing along the route between WPB and Miami.

1:30 lol that screen is literally just the Windows 10 Lock Screen 🤣

If you come to Austin again you should make a video of riding the Capital Metro express bus on route 982 and 985.

8:20 That colorful building is Design and Architecture Senior High School (DASH) the most prestigious design and architecture magnet school in the tri-county area. Hundreds of students apply each year and only the top students get through the screening process. Graduation from here guarantees you will get a scholarship to some of the top universities in the country.

The building used to be a shopping center, that is why it is long and narrow. My Physics classroom used to be a store and had glass floor to ceiling windows with a class door that opened to an open-air breezeway. The back of the school where this mural is painted was where the faculty parking lot was located until the railroad took it for the right of way for the second track the train is riding on right now. The intersection the train just passed is NE 39th Street with the front of the school facing NE 2nd AVE in the heart of the Design District.

I like the speaker, it talks soo nice

I had taken from Boston to Portland Maine the down Easter, which is part of Amtrak. I must say that the customer service was extremely nice and helpful and both the station in Boston and also on the train itself. Besides that, though the more station in Boston is sort of darkish meaning it doesn’t have the bright colors and it’s sort of depressing. The station in Portland Maine is not right in the town itself you have to board a bus to get there if somebody’s not picking you up.

I have some new videos from Berlin! I came back from Berlin and I have some new U Bahn videos that will be posted soon!

[ilevyzeke]

Maybe Brightline could/should construct a system for the Texas Triangle👀. It doesn’t look like Texas Central is going to get off the ground for a LONG TIME. Plus the station 30 minutes east of College Station makes no sense to me. Brightline would probably build their station right in the heart of CStat. Hopefully they take over.

What's the difference between 'Smart' class and 'Select' class seating? Also, how much does it cost?

[joanbryan]

There have been several incidences of accidents involving the new Brightline trains. To alleviate this situation more overpasses could be constructed so road traffic would not be affected by passing trains underneath, therefore eliminating the chance for a collision. What do you think?

[gwynerskine]

And also if it goes to fort Lauderdale after fort Lauderdale there aren't any stops until it gets up to possibly I guess Daytona what about all the people in between that might want a ride to go over to Tampa

[djsal]

Nice things are only in red states and blue states you might as well take greyhound bus or a run down train.
