Thank you again for letting me know about free things I didn't know about. I had no idea of the slide was free on the weekends. That's cool. The child in this 59-year-old body can't wait to give it a try.
Hello from Orlando! Can’t wait to head down to see a Marlins game! I’m looking forward to NOT making the drive😂. Miami - Orlando connection let’s go! Thanks for the content! 👍👏
Oh when we come down to tour these 2 new stations, we are doing that slide! Awesome! Great tips here and thank you for showing us how the shuttle works. Appreciate all you do.
I didn’t realize there was only 1 active platform until I got on the bridge that takes you to and from the train until I first saw it and realized they’re adding another track which should be up hopefully by the end of this month or early February.
Pretty insane that this shuttle has to exist when the mall is so close to the station. Serious indictment of how shitty it is to be a pedestrian in Florida.
@@JoelFrancoVlogs They are aiming for a september/october grand opening, I've heard from multiple people, but no official confirmation from Brightline yet.
Great review of the video, i have a question how your able to get your Brightline shuttle service working ? Because I tried booking my shuttle service but I'm not able to book my shuttle service on the Brightline app
The shuttle at Aventura station did not need to be booked. I just walked outside and it was waiting there. If it isn’t there, feel free to ask a worker bc it’s probably on its way back from dropping off people at the mall. As for shuttles at other stations to bring you to your destination (within 5 miles), when you’re buying a ticket there will be the option to add on a ride. Premium riders have a complimentary ride while Smart class has to pay a fee. They just partnered with Uber so that is now the main option.
Do you know if Brightline plans on adding GPS tracking to their vans? I know the other buses in Miami and from Fort Lauderdale have tracking on their buses so can see them on a map and have appx ETA to the mall.
One more thing I just remembered. I’ve actually been able to track my pick up when going to any other station via Premium (Tesla pickup). So they have that integrated already - hopefully this comes to Aventura. I don’t see why not.
That will be a whole world more convenient! Pedestrian bridges over Biscayne Blvd in the area should have been built 50 years ago when some of us Aventura kids were crossing it to go home from Highland Oaks Elementary and Middle School! Now there are more schools and I think most of those kids go to schools on their side of Biscayne Blvd. Still, now traffic is much worse. A bridge over that major strode would benefit more than just Brightline riders.
But what time does the shuttle start in the am from aventura mall to go to aventura Brightline ? I can not find any info as I’m interested in tbe first train in tbe am departing at 9:04 am it’s important
I know the focus is on Brightline and the Aventura Shuttle, but what surprised me was that Miami-Dade Transit still has some NABIs still in service.

Great video, you should look into promotional videos with them around the time the Orlando station opens

Yeah, pedestrians and bicycles should be prioritized first over trains, this isn’t even the case in europe, so sad.
@@ncard00 they should just build a crossing over the tracks
Nice review of the shuttle I was looking to see if its worth it
I heard they're planning a pedestrian bridge over the freeway which should make the connection so much better!
Gotta love the 15 minute bus just to cross a street.
Yup, that pretty takes as much as the whole train ride from Miami to aventura.
Could be solved with a pedestrian bridge
Hopefully in the future they can connect to Ft.Myers, Sarasota, Tampa.
Well done. Thanks for sharing.
Do you have any idea please what month that the Orlando right line will start running from the airport?!
This year but no specific date yet

@@JoelFrancoVlogs Oh I see and got it that's good to know, thanks for your reply
The 9 bus route Downtown Miami - Miami Dade Transit can take you there also for 2.25$
Thank you so much for this video. I plan on taking my mom on bright line this weekend to Aventura Mall
The Flanny's hat 🔥
Good one Joel...Thank you. 👌
This was the exact video I was looking for, thank you!
Any word when phase 3 will start/ be completed? (the pedestrian bridge across Biscayne blvd)
Honestly no idea. Seems a long ways away tbh.
Do you know if Brightline plans on adding GPS tracking to their vans? I know the other buses in Miami and from Fort Lauderdale have tracking on their buses so can see them on a map and have appx ETA to the mall.
No idea but that would be a great addition! In-app tracking would be useful

There’s also the Aventura Freebee which is from 7 am to 11 pm every day and can go ANYWHERE in aventura
Thank you for this tour ..I m in Aventura , but don’t see the station ?! Is it on west Dixie highway at 203 rd st. ? Can’t wait to ride to Boca !
West Dixie Highway at NE 196th St. Directly west of Aventura Mall bus terminal
Great review!! Can you do Uber from the train station to the mall as well?
Ya que muchas personas no entendemos..el inglés.... gracias 🙏🙏
They keep saying early 2023 for the Orlando location but do you know when exactly we can expect this to open ? March, April ?
September/october, not official.
Hello from Argentina... Great video...Do you know if there's a free shuttle from Brightline miami central station to South Beach?
Thank you for this!
Thank you for the video!
WHERE IS THE BRIDGE????
Supposedly there will be a bridge to take the place of the shuttle.
Yes eventually

FYI the shuttle is no longer taken at the bus station. It moved by SERAFINA RESTAURANT!
Be aware of that. It cost me a taxi to the station. 🙄
Should shuttle users tip the drivers?
It’s not expected but you can if you want (and if they’re allowed to accept)
IT'S VERY NICE A BIG HELP♥️🇧🇸
Gracias por informarnos pero sería muy bueno de todas formas si fuera posible que hicieras
