If you’re a fan of fast and convenient travel, here’s some exciting news: Brightline is looking to take its high-speed rail service all the way to Tampa! Currently, the rail line runs between Miami and Orlando, but the potential expansion would make cross-state travel even more accessible for Floridians.
Celebrating the first anniversary of their Miami-to-Orlando route, Brightline’s team recently announced their plans to expand. They’re already working on a new station in Cocoa and have their sights set on other spots like the Treasure Coast. But the real headline is their intention to extend the line westward to Tampa, marking a big step forward in transforming how people travel across the state.
For those who might not be familiar, Brightline’s Miami-to-Orlando service is already a hit, covering the journey in just over 3 hours. With speeds reaching up to 125 mph, this rail service has truly been setting the standard for fast travel in Florida. Since launching, they’ve racked up impressive numbers with millions of miles traveled and millions of passengers on board.
