Miami to West Palm Beach

Pros: Easy location and access. Comfortable, modern with all services. Easy to find and follow instructions. Exactly on time. Cons: The person attending front counter needs to be more professional and friendly. A good morning or a simple how are you; a smile, can do a lot different.

Fort Lauderdale to Orlando

Pros: Faster than the Amtrak one. Cons: 1-The briteline chairs, although clean and fairly new, were uncomfortable since they don’t recline. -The designated tickets numbers are not respected and we were told by the crue to sit wherever we find a spot. No good. The people that were sit on our places refused to move. Their excuse was that the same happened to them.
