The new service will connect downtown Miami to the north. Your first stop will be Fort Lauderdale, the last West Palm Beach. The train, the first private train to open in more than a century in the United States, is expected to carry about three million passengers per year.
After years of talking about the subject, in the summer a train service will begin from downtown Miami to the north: its first stop will be Fort Lauderdale, its Last stop will be West Palm Beach. That for the inauguration: the objective of the line is to provide a service for the most important tourist route of the peninsula: from Miami to Orlando.
The company Brightline announced the trajectory and presented the BrightBlue formations(two locomotives with four passenger cars) that will move at 79 miles per hour (126 kilometers per hour). Four more will soon follow, to start regular services in mid-2017: BrightOrange, BrightPink, BrightRed and BrightGreen.
During the first stage of operations of this train, the first private to open in more than a century in the United States, it is expected to transport a few three million passengers per year, said Brightline President Mike Reininger. With the expansion to Orlando, planned for 2018, it is estimated that 5.5 million people will be served. Also in the second section will increase the speed of locomotives driven by 16-cylinder engines and 4000 horsepower: outside the densely populated areas will reach 125 miles per hour (200 kilometers per hour).
Although Reininger did not elaborate on the price of the ticket, He said it would cost the same as getting around by car. As the initial stretch could serve people who routinely commute to work, in addition to places for wheelchairs and strollers there will be space for bicycles and briefcases. Also They will have Wi-Fi and power charging stations for different cell phone inputs, as well as USB connections.
