Brightline will make the trip in three and a half hours, with round-trip tickets starting at $158.
Anyone have a Non paywalled article?
That price seems pretty steep, compared to the $8 worth of tolls and $20-30 worth of gas and around the same time it takes.
Yes the pricing is not for locals. Its for tourists that fly in. Lots of people fly in for Disney in Orlando and Miami for beaches or cruises. Now a tourist can hit both cities without flying again or renting a car.

Probably. I do travel around that distance a couple times a year, stop only for washrooms and petrol as needed.

Do I? We usually travel with pets. So manatee rest stops for them. Usually try and go 2-3 hours at a time.

Exactly. Makes it easier when my Partner takes over after a long stint.
There are a lot more costs to a car besides gas and tolls that add to the cost of that trip. But even besides that, you get to take 3.5 hours of your life back doing things that you can’t do while you’re driving.
Good trains to see.
