Florida's Brightline Train Is Officially Launching In September

Ummmm. Starting at $79 one way, to get from the Brightline station near Ft. Lauderdale airport to Orlando airport?

One would have to also pay to park at Ft Lauderdale (or take a ride share), and then still get from the Orlando airport to whatever destination via public transit, or a ride share.

Back of the envelope here:
$80 for the ticket + $30 to get to the Brightline + $30 to get to destination.

And then the reverse. That's $140 x 2.

$280 for an individual to go to Orlando and home.

What of time?

They say it's about 2.5 hours to get between the airports. Plus transit to the airport. Plus transit from. So probably 3.5 hours door to door.

Which is the same as driving.

I fail to see the value proposition.

Short. Sweet. To the point. That's the beauty Dave's iPhone.
