Today I tried America’s “Best” train service called Brightline in order to find out how good or bad they actually are! Located in Florida Brightline is considered to be the future of rail travel in the United States connecting Miami to Orlando! I bought a ticket on both their First Class and Economy Class in order to find out what they were really like and if they can really transform the way trains work in America!

After going to Japan, it's great to see the US trying to improve their public transportation. It was amazing seeing the public transportation in Japan, especially the Shinkansen (bullet train). I hope the US gets that one day, and this is a big step in the right direction.
please fly allegiant air please
Fly next with Finnair
As a local I’ve taken Brightline since 2019 and they do not disappoint
I was recently in France and really enjoyed the convenience of rail travel there. It's nice to see that a company like Brightline is trying to bring some of that back in the US.
In December they have like polar Express experience
Can you please ride Southwest airlines
They are cost prohibitive, even for economy. Also, you did not mention if you paid for your own ticket or were comped by Brightline. Too many YouTubers are just paid ads in disguise.
If the right people had spearheaded modern rail passenger service in the 60s and 70s, we would probably have first rate rail similar to France, Spain, Japan, and others countries. Too much emphasis was directed toward air and auto transportation.
Fly on porter back to Toronto
I know that Amtrak will be getting new set which are similar to the brightline sets called the Amtrak airo. In the Midwest they also these same train cars and a similar locomotive (different design)
wheres the dirty little secret
But how fast was it? That's the most important part since most people are not going to do what you did. Rhe stations and trains look great though.
Could you go on a Irish plane plz
👇
???
The best train in america is acela champ.
My birth day is in two weeks and can you try southwest air?
Day 5 of asking Transavia VS Aegean vs Sky Express please I have watch every video!!
Great job but bros becoming a train channel 💀
He had a seat but stood up anyway. Craziness.
Request: take the Eurostar from Paris to London
Great review! I cant wait to take it from Orlando to Miami one day!
Beautiful stations .
Hope this jump starts good passenger train service in USA
oh the tickets aren't for assigned seating? hopefully they only sell as many tickets as there are seats…?
hold up….. TRAIN STATION SECURITY????
Train looks stunning (even if it isnt high speed or electric). I do worry that because of the stigma around public transit in America people will still choose to drive and sit in traffic for hours rather than choose the convenience of brightline. I just hope they make a success of it and stay in profit
Experience WORLD-CLASS passenger train in Indonesia. WHOSSH 218mph and US$15 for 107mile travel.
American are welcome to enjoy Comport HIGH SPEED& HIGH TECH train in the world
Awesome my guy! Greetings from Palm Beach FL 😎
And I waited for the dirty little secret.
Great video! Is there a way to ensure you can get a seat facing the direction of the travel? Do the charts show that when you book your seat?
day 1 of asking to try turkish airlines business class and fly to istanbul because their airport is AMAZING
Wow, Florida, New York, Massachusetts, Virginia, California, Illinois, and Nevada has high speed rail. Arizona needs to catch up with the other states.
Usually when the US/UK media report the Chinese high speed rail way, they usually put "but at what cost" at the end of the report 🤣
