Looking out the window at the broken West Palm Beach fences, I thought, “How dream is.” Thinking of a $ 5 wedge of banana bread, I whispered, “That’s what the poets knew.”
The Florida transport romantic strap is dangerously low, people. Still, Brightline from Orlando to Miami felt the slightest whistle in Europe: one with its deepest thoughts, ambiguously colorful for elastic clothing, freely exploring this great state, no need to avoid 18 laps, full foods.
The freelance work took me to Miami for a few days last week. I decided, instead of sitting behind the wheel and inventing the obscenity for five hours, I drove to Orlanda and tried Brightline. Yes, the journey still meant two hours of colorful curses to Interstate 4. This is the part we work on.
Brightline, private train operator, 2023 Opened his Orlando station, connecting motorcyclists to the South Florida network. The Mayor Jane Castor said that the center of the Tampos center until 2029. Can be implemented; Others because of this forecast are less deadlock. Money supplies to expand the line are caressing.
Meanwhile, Brightline is due to debt, even with increasing driving. And the company was checked for accidents that caused a shocking number of deaths through densely populated southern Florida territories, not to mention that they are accused of victims. The day after my return trip, the Brightline train hit West Palm Beach.
I pray that the company can make steps to successfully achieve successfully financially and make it safer for everyone, as Florida is very much needed by the train invitation. Research by Hillsborough County shows that people are emphatically eager for Orlando’s connection. Among the 12,000 survey answers were feedback points such as “Please, pleaseeeeeee”.
At least we need the tracks set out in the I-4 Pronto, so if the Brightline does not, the other operator can get involved. In fact, railroad tracks along the I-4 could open a healthy dose of competition.
I believe in you, businessmen. I believe in you, politician … No, it’s too far, sorry. Rick Scott ruined this conviction when Rejected federal funds for the construction of this type of railway, and in Florida, oh, a million years. Later, when he turned, he and his wife invested in the company itself, which became Brightline.
Heavy sigh, fracture glass, etc. But we are now ruthlessly privatized in 2025. Florida still has to break free from the autonomy of travel highways, both due to greenhouse gas emissions and the economy.
For example, do you know how many more mice ears will be sold?
No, for sure. Sitting in spacious rear leather chairs, deliberately reading my sad novel (very euro), I imagined that I became a person who often visits Orlando. I imagined I became a Disney adult. Or a universal adult. Or even someone who, I don’t know, goes to Wonderworks.
I like the parks, okay? But unless you are at 4 p.m. The cross diameter with boundless energy, sitting on the grill, walking 20,000 steps and drinking 14 beer Epcot, the hotel is necessary. This means that the whole weekend is lost in the mouse. You pay the weekly salary. For the gentle Mickey waffle, you are, of course, Google’s cheap divorce lawyers and boarding schools.
No, the train will not save marriage (will it be?). This is not free and extremely faster than driving: my tickets were around $ 75 and $ 90 in both directions, three and a half hours. It is also a factor from the station. The parking lot was $ 20 per day at the Orlando International Airport. More like a “sun surface” surface, but I avoid.
Browse the train stations felt simple, with a warning that I accidentally boarded the wrong train car. I was not the only one, so several additional helpers will not hurt the loading dock area. Security took about five seconds and none of the aerial travel anxiety that “TSA is preparing to catch my underwear in front of all.”
However, the greatest payback was freedom of free time, freedom from the despotics and the deadly highway located so that it is connected to its cars.
Consider this. Dinner and swan monitoring at Lake Eola. Impulsive Gideon’s Bakehouse Biscuits. Concert, basketball game, your daughter’s internal fun competition suddenly caused a minibus.
Book an icy Rosé cans via the QR code to your place on your way to the animal kingdom. Complete a little work email. Letters until Choo-Choo whispers you to Halloween horror nights. Use a train over a large robotic bathroom instead of asking for a suspicious key in Citgo in Bartov.
No more curse words. No need for leg cramps. No need to drop the last baking between the cup holder and the seat. In the words of Robert Louis Stevenson, wake me when we are a very fun Mickey’s Mickey Spoocular dance party or whatever. I am all on board.
