Brightline

Pros: This was my first train trip in over 50 years. I was surprised at how simple the Briteline process was. From the Guest Service desk to boarding the train, the whole process was quick and easy. The seat and ride was most comfortable. I recommend this mode of travel between Fort Lauderdale and Miami. Cons: Arrival to the Miami station, once outside, was a bit chaotic as vehicles and buses were all stopped and causing many people to honk their horns. If a better drop-off/pick-up solution could be made, I think travelers would be appreciative. Tips: Make sure you arrive 15 - 30 minutes before your train arrives/leaves. Once on the platform, look at your ticket and see which train car you are assigned and then look at the posted signs. Make you way soonest, as I had to traverse the whole platform to get the my car.
