Brightline is set to enhance its rail services with several new developments. The company plans to complete a $12 billion project by 2028, which will include three main stations in Las Vegas, Victor Valley, and Rancho Cucamonga, with a connection to LA Metro, and a select service station from Hesperia to Rancho Cucamonga. The rail line will span 218 miles, operate at speeds up to 200 MPH (115 MPH average), and feature 19 overpass bridges with no at-grade crossings, aiming for a travel time of 2 hours. Additionally, Miami-Dade County is considering a $500 million agreement with Brightline to expand commuter rail services along the Florida East Coast Railway, which includes building four new train stations. The federal government is contributing $3 billion to the project.
โLinking SunRail to [Orlando] airport and tourism stops would increase ridership from the current 1 million annually to 6 million annually, is likely to be an underestimate.โ Funding for the ~$4 billion rail line shared with @GoBrightline is still TBD. https://t.co/WHkTTK6WDR
Brightline Founder & Chairman Wes Edens says the $400 round trip cost he was quoted is โa little bit of a misstatementโ. Brightline Florida's first profitable month was last month after two straight years of net losses. @VegasToCali1 https://t.co/VbEIpuiCBf via @YouTube
Within five years, Las Vegas and Southern California could be just two hours apart. https://t.co/sqtN2CctcE https://t.co/UTXZ0QBQne

The only way Brightline has a viable business is if it builds a $6 billion casino in Rancho Cucamonga. Possibly with a monorail. https://t.co/Gaie4x9j4R
The Miami-Dade County Commission may soon vote on a deal that could pave the way for @Tri_Rail to operate along the Biscayne Corridor and @GoBrightline to receive millions of $. https://t.co/aZ9clpmAWa

This is what failure of transit infrastructure looks like in car dependent and congested Miami-Dade. A ticket from Miami to Aventura in the privately owned Brightline train is $35 and taking an Uber to the same destination is $29! https://t.co/jqoj0UkloL
Exciting news but definitely falls a little flat. Rancho Cucamonga? All the talk for years was high speed direct to Los Angeles. Doesn't shave an enormous amount of time off drive time (unless you run into traffic). But if prices of tickets were cheap enough I can see it beingโฆ https://t.co/PLzg3OxsHo
