MIAMI, FL — Brightline will launch its new train service between the Orlando International Airport and South Florida on Sept. 22, according to a news release from the company.

South Florida stops include Miami, Aventura, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton and West Palm Beach.

We have seen incredible enthusiasm from the business and tourism industries eager to travel between Central and South Florida,” Patrick Goddard, Brightline president, said. “As we start service to Orlando for peak holiday seasons, I encourage everyone to check calendars, make plans, visit our website or app and reserve a seat now.”
