Have you heard about the Brightline train in Florida?
It opened in 2018 and commuters can travel from Miami to Orlando and points in between at a top speed of 125 mph.
Sounds pretty awesome, doesn’t it?
But, based on the video you’re about to see, it seems that all Floridians aren’t too psyched about the train.
A TikTokker named Reece posted a video where he talked about his complaints about Brightline via a skit where he played both parts.
The video is meant to portray one friend talking to the other about Brightline.
Man #1 said, “All right, we got Orlando this weekend, don’t have to drive three hours to get there. We got the Brightline now.”
When asked how long it would take, Man #1 said, “Like, three hours.”
Man #2 responded, “No I don’t mean the drive there. I mean how long is it going to take on the train?”
Man #1 then said, “At least three hours. I mean, there might be some stops.”
And then Man #2 got a reality check after he asked, “Ok, it sounds like the tickets were pretty cheap then, how much did we spend??
Man #1 told him it costs roughly $160 for a one-way ticket and the second fella thought that the train was a bad idea because he said it costs twice as much as the gas required to get there.
Ouch…
Check out his video.
@reeceloganmedia Not too bright 🙄 #onlyindade #onlyinbroward #southflorida #miami #orlando #brightline
Let’s see what people had to say about this.
This person had a great train experience.
Another individual said they’d rather fly Spirit than deal with this.
That’s really saying something!
And one TikTokker asked a great question.
It sounds like this experiment isn’t a big hit with Floridians.
But I, for one, would definitely like to see more trains in the U.S.
