America's "Best" Train: A Shocking Reality



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!

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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)

  5. 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
