It is not the same to be driving on crowded and congested highways, than to sit relaxed in a comfortable seat with a WiFi connection and enjoy a series or catch up on work from our laptop, something that they could not do while driving. Brightline and its new trains from Miami to Orlando and the future Las Vegas to Los Angeles are aimed at a new way of moving between some of the main cities in the United States, radically changing mobility habits, saving time, avoiding the stress of traffic jams .
Since Brightline began operating in the state of Florida, passengers have found modern stations, more similar to small airports, but without the chaos that air terminals have with their unbearable security controls, noise, and the stresses of si there will or will not be delays.
Brightline stations have rest areas with perfect gastronomic proposals, executive lounges for those who travel in PREMIUM cabins, but all flowing harmoniously.
You do not have to arrive an hour before to take the train, nor is there an extra charge for dispatching luggage. Passengers can talk on the phone during our tour, browse on our mobile phones or computers for free. None of these things we could do on a plane (calls are not allowed and WiFi services have a cost).
Therefore, the new trains Brightline from Miami to Orlando and Las Vegas to Los Angeles came to be a series of competition from airplanes, car trips and Amtrak, the company that had a monopoly on trains, and that in the absence of further investment, its service was relegated.
Let’s think about the stretch from Miami to Orlando. When it is 100% operational, both cities can be connected in 3 hours and 30 minutes with 16 daily frequencies. Currently, Amtrak offers to link Orlando and Miami with only two frequencies per day: one with a duration of more than 5 hours and another of more than 7 hours. The differences are more than clear.
In addition, the Brightline train will arrive at the MCO airport which will also allow for new air connections and will be a short distance from the Disney and Orlando theme parks.
Brightline trains in Florida will not be as fast as one would imagine. The United States is relegated in everything that has to do with its railway structure, but even so, they will be fast enough to make life more comfortable for citizens and tourists.
Para el tramo Miami a West Palm Beach: 127 km/h (79 mph)
For the West Palm Beach to Cocoa stretch: 177 km/h (110 mph)
For the section from Cocoa to Orlando Airport: 201 km/h (125 mph)
But Brightline West if you bet on the fast trains for your Los Angeles (Rancho Cucamonga) to Las Vegas run that if the first funds are raised, the works would start at the end of 2023 to be ready at the end of 2027 or beginning of 2028, just in time for the Los Angeles Olympics.
With a 100% electric train, you will travel at speeds of 186 miles per hour (almost 300 kilometers per hour), making the journey in 2 hours and 10 minutes, less than half the time it takes to do it by car.
The goal is to have a frequency per hour and the Las Vegas station will be in the heart of the city, for the ease of tourists and residents.
The Rancho Cucamonga station will connect to Southern California’s regional Metrolink service, allowing seamless connectivity to downtown Los Angeles and beyond.
The new Brightline trains from Miami to Orlando and Los Angeles to Las Vegas mark a before and after in the rail industry and hopefully these private developments will drive more projects across the United States.
