[QUOTE]Originally posted by sojourner: [QB] I'm a little confused about why Brightline inaugurated its route on a route already served by Trirail. I know its faster, but still, seems to me they ought to have begun with Orlando south, or West Palm to Jupiter Beach and north, or Miami to Tampa (served only, and poorly, by Amtrak), or JAX to St Augustine to Daytona, or Sarasota to West Palm Beach, or Orlando to Tampa, or something like that. . . . (or LA to Vegas). Also, other than being faster, what are the benefits of taking Brightline over TriRail? Are there more trains at better hours? Are the station locations in Fort Lauderdale and Miami a whole lot more convenient than the Trirail stations? When you get to the Miami Brightline station, is there some kind of shuttle to Miami Beach, or must one still take costly taxis? And what's with plans to go to Orlando Airport but not anywhere else up there? I mean, Brightline is advertising itself as downtown to downtown, so why is it just going to Orlando airport? If the airport is so attractive, how come it doesn't go to the airports in Fort Lauderdale and Miami? Are there shuttles? Isn't it convenient that the Florida TriRail goes to Miami Airport? BTW, whatever happened to plans to move Miami's Amtrak station? [/QB][/QUOTE]
