[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] Allow me to be first to note AAF has now announced an inaugural date - This coming Saturday, January 13: Here is reporting by Jennifer Sorentrue at the [URL=https://www.google.com/amp/www.mypalmbeachpost.com/business/west-palm-beach-mayor-brightline-meet-quiet-zone-delay/CXj1AzVz69z9tirbWTbC9M/amp.html]Palm Beach Post[/URL] who in, again, this admitted "newssnob's" opinion is the best of the bunch reporting on this "saga". Fair Use (startup): [i][list] [*]...will launch introductory service on its passenger trains on Saturday , with round-trip fares starting at $20 for rides between its stations in Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. During the week, the company plans to run 10 round-trip trains a day between the two cities. There will be nine round-trip trains on the weekends. Trains will depart as early as 6 a.m. and as late as 11 p.m. The schedules will differ between weekdays and weekends, Brightline said. Introductory “Try Our Train Fares” will be $10 each way for a seat in one of Brightline’s Smart Service cars. One-way tickets for a Select Service seat will cost $15, the company said [/i] [/list] However, Ms. Sorentrue reports that there remains no resolution of the Quiet Zone matter. The thought of apparently twenty more trains a day blowing at the 200 some X-ings WILL cause disruptions in a lot of people's lives. Fair Use (QZ): [i][list] [*]...But as Brightline prepares for its launch, the company continues to draw criticism from some longtime supporters of the project who are upset that it didn’t make good on a promise to create a continuous quiet zone to silence train horns along its route. The zone will run from 15th Street in West Palm Beach south to the county line. It will silence the horns of both Brightline’s trains and freight locomotives that travel along the FEC tracks [/i] [/list] Of interest, has Broward enacted a QZ ordinance? My Father will be yelling from his grave if they haven't - even if such is in Tuxedo Park, NY. Finally, here is the AAF website, which at this time appears to be a work in progress: https://gobrightline.com [/QB][/QUOTE]
