- In this video I describe my experience riding the New Brightline train which opened for passenger service between Fort Lauderdale and west Palm Beach in January 2018, as the only privately owned and operated passenger railroad in the United States (HUGE). features are- Leather seats, wide aisles, bike racks, free wireless Internet - with two power outlets and two USB ports per seat. Brightline says will appeal to its target customers, which include tourists, business travelers and Millennials. Hope you enjoy the video, and if you are in the South Florida area, the location is in Fort Lauderdale, I95 (Exit) East (Broward) Blvd (Left on 2nd Ave) Enjoy! Thanks for supporting me!

It’s now 3 years later, I live in Orlando and have been watching the building of the extension up north here. I’m getting excited about riding Brightline round trip Orlando to Miami soon. Good video, thanks.
This PayYourSelfBack video was very informative. I'm looking forward to more videos.
Thanks Ray!!
Very informative, and great music!
Thank you!!
I like the fact you discover things only locals know tourist wouldnt and give insite on it and where its located and the woman explaining the train
Thank you!! It takes practice and taking self out of the equation and thinking about those who would like to know before they go.
Thanks for your service and enjoyed the video! Glad you liked Brightline and they are currently testing the trains that go into downtown Miami on that 50 foot high elevated train bridge & station. Looking forward to the last segment to Orlando.
Thanks Xoxxo Bob for the comment!! I really did enjoy the ride it was pretty interesting. Once they finalize that Miami/ Orlando route I will be doing another video.
Love your Soul Train! Keep making videos.
Yes Sir! Thank you
Great posts..Very interesting...Stuff that's hard to find...Keep em coming...The Old Timer
Thanks Robert, will do!!
Good to see some real investment in public transportation.....that's 1 thing that area really needs!
Good video...I actually took the Brightline to Miami in December 2018 and when the taxi drove up to the Brightline station in Fort Lauderdale I was already impressed by the outside look of the station and then when I went inside was impressed as well.
I think it has changed a bit since I put out this video because Miami wasn't available during that time. Thanks for you comment!!
The plans are to have Brightline trains run express from Miami to Orlando, which would be great for east coast Floridians who have annual passes for Walt Disneyworld! Did they trains run 100+ mph like promised? Great to see Donna help you out like that! So NOT like the MTA in NYC, or SEPTA in Philly! LOL
Great video and good editing.
Thank you Exoress Delivers!!
Awesome thanks! I am thinking about moving to downtown and this helps alot! PS: THANK YOU, Sir for your service.
My pleasure!
I want to try the Brightline train the next time I come down to visit. Great video again!
I really enjoyed this video. can't wait until they extend the line. at that time, tickets will be booked for my trip down to visit Florida and ride this puppy. Thank you!
Thanks James, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!!
I live in Cali too, time too get out of here! lol
Nice video C-los. Keep up the good work 👍🏾.
I appreciate the comment Janet!
Please make more vids of Florida, I live in LA and need to retire from this cost of living ...!!!!
Working on one for Home Buying and Apartment Renting
Do not forget condos or townhomes
Claus Bohm well if you want to save money do not move to Miami or Fort Lauderdale
There it could be as expensive as LA and I know that LA is expensive,I used to live there for 14 years and my family still lives there and I go visit often ,well LA supposed to be expensive,it’s a big and world famous city so...
good luck

Hey thanks for your comment!! Good luck with your move!
Sooo much better than the damn MTA in the city
Thanks for sharing!
Very helpful videos👍
That train is fast. A few people were killed trying to cross the tracks and beat the speed.
Nice!! Thanks for sharing. Bless
Thank you, Blessings to you!!
It has the potential to reach 125mph but right now its governed to 79mph, once extended to Orlando it wiil do 110mph on that stretch
Actually 125 to Orlando not 110...
Thank you for your service. Listen or read Bloods by the late Wallace Terry. It is first personal stories about the war in Vietnam
Thanks, will do!!
Nice video man and thank you for your service.
Thank you Chase!!
Beautiful train, looks like fun, thanks for the vid. One comment: constant background music was a bit loud, made it hard for me to hear some of your words. But actually no big deal.
U rock w/ ur videos!!
Thanks for your comment!
Good review I have a vacation home in west palm beach. Can you do a review of west palm beach and close by beaches.
Hope they include Hollywood as a stop later on down the line. I would love to be able to hop on their train to go see my daughter in Miami instead of having to ride Greyhound with their limited schedules. :-(
I'm your 50th sub :)
Thank you Lachelle!! Unfortunately I cannot see you on my list of subscribers because I believe you have your subscribers list set to private instead of public.
Man love your videos I'm really thinking about selling the home and relocating I'm retired
Thanks Emery! I've been here for 2 years now and have learned a lot about Florida in that short amount of time. I like Florida for various reasons, but I wouldn't sell my home to move here. That's just my opinion.
Good video
Thank you Martin!!
Very cool.
I have a timeshare in Ft Lauderdale...Big Daddy is on his way and yes, I have the app on my phone.
This was helpful im moving to Florida
Glad that I can help!
I see this train pass by everyday lol
stop by the swap shop, it's a big outdoor market. i really should go more, the owner pass away.
C-Los you say your a car guy have you been to any car shows or the drag racing events???
I need to download this app tonite cause I hate drive I-4 it's a killer..
I work across from the tracks this train runs on and that sucker is always empty.
No idea how they make money.
I'm in Hollywood and it definitely goes to Miami and back at least it heads in that direction.
That's a good observation John, in that case I'm not sure how they get there money but they must be doing something right. Thanks
Bro, thanks for this info, I've been looking for an economical way to get to West Palm from Ft. Lauderdale, how far is the train from Ft. Lauderdale airport? Thanks in advance🖒
It's my pleasure to provide this information bro. It's about 6-7 miles from the Ft Lauderdale airport. I would hit 595W to I-5N and get off on Broward Blvd going East which is not far at all...if I had to guess; your talking maybe 15 minutes or so.
@@PayYourSelfBackMRYORK Appreciate it! I'm looking at taking one of those cheap cruises out of WPB
do the seats have usb chargering ports?
Is there any way to contact you sir ?I just have a few serious questions please
Did u pay for parking?
I didn't pay at the time, but it may be different now.
how long was the ride ??
It was about 45 minutes.
@@PayYourSelfBackMRYORK Thanks for great video ! Any suggestion where to move to Florida, tired of LA and try to buy something small in FL :)
Smart It's not $10 it's $11 and select It's not 15 It's 16.
10$ little pricey for a train it 1.50$ each way in Utah on the train
Yes it is very pricey
At least from Mia to FLL
