    Miami with this infrastructure now joins New York and Chicago as a world class city of America.

      @@KingAsa5 Texas Central can still build the HSR but they just have to wait for the Tx Supreme Court decision. If they side with Texas Central, they might be able to build it if they can get the funding.

      With electrification and S train acceleration 125mph EMU's, Brightline could make dozens of stops in Florida, and still keep a competitive travel time, instead of their current very slow accelerating diesel trains. And the US in general, with it's low top speeds, could really benefit from this, and more realistically, DMU's with fast acceleration, instead of so many loco hauled trains.

      Awesome and thank you! Yes, Action Kid has some great videos around South Florida and NYC. I’m looking forward in riding Brightline between Miami and Orlando. Ya’ll are lucky to have a wonderful train service. Hopefully they will open sooner.

    I also want to point out that Universal said they were willing to donate land to Brightline for them to make a station near the Orlando convention center which is right by Universal Studios, Seaworld and others. So they are likely going to work on that followed by the Disney expansion, and then tampa. While building stations in Boca, and Aventura.

    26:33 This intersection is NW 39th Street. On the other side of the train (west) is Design and Architecture Senior High School (DASH) the top design and architecture magnet school in the county. The tracks the train is riding on used to be the faculty parking lot.

    I rode Brightline from WPB to FTL when that was the only part open and was impressed. Rode Smart class one way and Premium the other. The latter is great, but the basic class is just fine. I love the fold-down cell-phone shelf in the seatback! I do think that they should add stations in Cocoa (near the north end of the FEC portion) and Fort Pierce (to split the distance to WPB). The added stations will add little to the trip time and greatly improve the line's utility.

    80mph is actually just under 130km/h. I had to point that out because 50km/h is the standard suburban speed limit in most of Australia, just under 30mph.

    Quick note, at 23:33 you said 80 mph (50kmh) which is obviously not a correct conversion. I believe the trains top speed in that section is 79 mph which would mean if it was going top speed in that section then it would be around 130 kmh

    Clean, efficient and affordable mass public transport is just a normal infrastructure in other countries and not a cause for celebration. Unfortunately, in the US, the government's priority isn't its citizens but car manufacturers.
