Intercity rail service will soon be available between Miami and Orlando.
Brightline unveiled a new 37,350-square-foot station, located next to Terminal C at the Orlando International Airport on Thursday, April 20. The new station is a big piece of Brightline’s plans to connect Central and South Florida.
According to an article by Anthony Talcott for Click Orlando, the new station “connects directly to the airport’s Parking Garage C — which will have more than 350 parking spaces set aside for Brightline guests — and will also provide direct access to MCO’s other terminals A and B via the Terminal Link, an under five minute journey.”
Brightline will run hourly trains connecting Miami and Orlando on weekdays and weekends. Brightline expects to begin selling tickets for the route in May.
