LET'S HEAR IT FOR FREQUENCY.

Florida's Brightline only recently began serving Orlando, and they've added more trains.

Brightline has announced that train service between Miami and Orlando will double to 30 trips daily starting Monday.

The news comes less than two weeks after the company's inaugural trip to central Florida.

Brightline said there will be 15 trains in each direction to and from Orlando. The company currently runs eight trips each way.

The first train will leave Miami at 6:41 a.m., arriving in Orlando at 10:19 a.m., and the last train of the day will leave Miami at 9:41 p.m.

Meanwhile, the first train will leave Orlando at 4:38 a.m., and arrive into Miami at 8:11 a.m. The final train will leave Orlando at 8:54 p.m.

Brightline also has stops in Aventura, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton and West Palm Beach. Additional early morning and late-night trains will operate between these stations.

There are some operational considerations, to be elaborated on in a future post, that militate against an on-the-hour memory pattern schedule.

We'll be paying attention to how well the extra frequencies draw passengers, and to whether that quasi-commuter service along the southeast coast pays off.
