Some travelers with plans to visit Orlando on Brightline’s newest route from South Florida will have to rework their plans.
According to a post on Twitter, the high-speed rail company has canceled service to Orlando from Sept. 1-6, delaying the inaugural launch. Travelers were sent an email notifying them of the change and have been given rebooking options.
The highly-anticipated route facilitates travel from Miami, Aventura, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton and West Palm Beach to Orlando.
In preparation for the route, Brightline put its high-speed trains through rigorous drills in Orange County earlier this year.
The trains reached their maximum speed of 130 miles per hour. That is a fraction faster than they will go with passengers onboard later this year.
Tickets for Smart service start at $79 and Premium seating pricing begins at $149. Children’s tickets are $39.
