16 times a day, Orlandoans will be enjoying a 3-hour train ride (Amtrak takes 5.5 to 7.5 hours) to Miami in late 2017 thanks to the coming All Aboard Florida (Website) train service ccording to the Miami Herald.
The line will be called Brightline.
The trains will be made in the USA and have the following features in two seating options:
- Coffee and wine delivered to your seat
- Train café car with food and drink options, wine and local beers, a retail store, souvenirs and entertainment
- free Wi-Fi
- smartly placed power outlets
- custom built leather seats with multiple seating configurations
- One quiet car and one social car within each tier
Prices have not been released, but the cost will be comparable to what it would cost someone to drive their own car to these cities round-trip according to WPLG - Miami.
Though it will travel at speeds between 79 mph and 125 mph, it's not a high speed train. The industry standard for those is 150mph.
