      I hope that happens! Traffic on I85 can get pretty bad

      Yeah they’re actually and also want to build a line between Chicago and St Louis, Portland Seattle And Vancouver, Dallas Austin San Antonio and Houston, Washington DC NYC and Boston as well as the currently under construction line between Vegas and LA.

      Are they really trying to make Chi to STL high speed? I thought they just upgraded it to 125 and that was all.
      Also isn’t DC NYC BOSTON the Acela lol? Already “high speed”.

    Not a high speed train, but a good service nonetheless. An achievable middle ground.

      @bryan_truong  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah I guess some people call it “higher speed train” which is more accurate lol. Brightline still calls it high speed though

    Half-off sales are quite often so definitely no need to pay full price, especially if you don’t mind the early and late hours.

      This same time/route is $25 now !

    Questions. At any point did you feel like a peasant while riding the train? Was the train ever full outside metropolitan Miami and Orlando? From this video it looks like ticket cost will barely cover the cost of the electricity and operational overhead. Or maybe the $12 meals will generate Billions taken from the taxpayers. Other thamnopening day, has a train ever sold out? Can you not afford a car, even a used Honda?

      I actually felt like the train was very luxurious! I only rode it from Orlando to Fort Lauderdale, so I can't speak to the crowdedness, but I think it started to fill up more once we got to Boca and kept heading south.
