Not really competition. Brightline is a higher end, trans-regional service with very limited stops in exchange for much faster speeds. Tri-rail is more of a local service serving more far more stops but far more slowly. From West Palm to Miami, I’d likely chose Brightline, but from say Pompano to Opa Locka, Trirail would likely make sense.
like the others said yea Tri-Rail is a commuter rail whereas Brightline is a long distance high-speed rail, that don't sound like competition to me, the closest you have to that is Amtrak which just pales in comparison with only like 2 trains daily
as far as speed yes brightline runs from miami to orlando airport with bus that also can take you to the parks so brightline is doing well from what i hear more money then amtrak
but amtrak only runs 98 92 to new york thats it so if you wanna go to orlando you still can amtrak leads you in to downtown orlando but like how i said there are only 2 daily trains 2 coming from new york and if those 2 are late people are stuck for hours
In Japan, a small country compared to USA, they have many different rail companies, sometimes even in one city. Some of them are even on the stock exchange. That is why Amtrak fails. Rail systems at the local, state, or regional level can achieve a lot. I'm impressed with Brightline system, everyone said they couldn't do it.
Amtrak was established in 1971, before that it was all operated by private rail companies and they wanted to get rid of most of their passenger train services
@morganboutwell8231 LOL the reason Bright Line is successful is because it is NOT govt-owned. They built in 4 years. The govt-owned California LA-SF highspeed will be 40+ years until fully complete .
@simondahl5437 China has built more miles of high‐speed rail than any other country with $800 billion debt. None of its lines are covering operating costs. (As a result, China is shifting to building more roads.) France’s rail has debts of $70+ billion and has been repeatedly bailed out by the government. SPAIN built its system with a public‐private partnership. It is $90 billion in debt. The state‐owned Japanese National Railways has a debt of $550 billion. (Japan also has Highest debt to GDP of 300%.) Railroads are an OLD 1700s technology that is obsoleted by faster, more flexible travel technologies. High-speed rail loses tons of money & is a bad investment.
California High Speed Rail has to build a lot of new infrastructure to get the dedicated railroads done and they are operating on not enough budget to get it done already
Brightline is making a profit. Of course, they aren't a railroad, Brightline is a land development company owned by a group from the United Arab Emirates.
On the contrary, trains do actually help lighten traffic a little bit by taking people off the road and onto the rails. The worst that a train may do to cars (assuming optimal operation for both sides) is a 2-minute stop for railroad crossings.
The opportunities for regional rail across the US are opened up when we take care of and prioritize key intercity rail corridors. This is great news.
Great job, TriRail! America needs to continue supporting our rail.
Wow it’s almost like competition is good for consumers. Who would’ve thought.

It's not a competition. It is an expended service from the west to the Brightline station in the east. Brightline rides through the east.
y'all really need to get your facts straight lmao let me keep it a buck fifty
like the others said yea Tri-Rail is a commuter rail whereas Brightline is a long distance high-speed rail, that don't sound like competition to me, the closest you have to that is Amtrak which just pales in comparison with only like 2 trains daily
And people said brightline would not help any of the public rail systems.😂
😂

but i still love amtrak
brightline is basically competing with amtrak
We are getting close lol, this has been in the works for at least five years.

Go TriRail!!!🎉🎉🎉
Imagine that, rail passenger expanding! If there is one thing FL has it going, its passenger rail (so weird to say that).
When is Brightline going more north?
They already do
OP said more@@TrainzDriver2
it does it runs to orlando now
@@trirail812productions8 no it doesnt. it stops in orlando. when does it go north?
Agreed. Can easily go to Jupiter or okeechobee
"Move over Brightline" Tf does that mean?
Any plans for infill new stations?
Next up: electrifying the corridor
When the recent big storm went past Florida and ended up near Boston, it knocked out their railroad overhead power lines.
@cryo_tech don’t think Tri-Rail can afford that that according to one of my fellow railfans
No electrifying is bad for the hurricane store, diesel equipment are waterproof and they last longer than all electric,
good. nationalize rail
How has that really worked?
@@Dog.soldier1950. Excellent in nearly all countries that have tried it.
We have nationalized rail, it's called Amtrak. They suck.

Remember,, we cost $7.3 million per mile for Brightline, compared to $153.8 million per mile for California High Speed Rail.
And Brightline is running, not California's

Tax dollars at work
Tri Rail est Le RER de Sud Floride
Needs to go to Tamiami airport and homestead
Amazing service better than Chi Na🎉
Nahhh…
Great, now can we please get rid of these ugly, old rolling stock??
I wouldn't mind Stadler KISS diesel electric sets
@@Ven100I didn’t think the bilevel KISS was available in diesel. The FLIRT is
@expojam1373 Bro acts like a Euro Foamer
@@mikegaskin5542 They did make a DMU variant.
Thsts the point, they want electric multiple unit over diesel@@mikegaskin5542
Niceeeeeeeee
So how much money this enterprise generating?

This is too many trains. I hope this doesn’t create traffic.
On the contrary, trains do actually help lighten traffic a little bit by taking people off the road and onto the rails. The worst that a train may do to cars (assuming optimal operation for both sides) is a 2-minute stop for railroad crossings.
Then do not freaking drive and take the damn train.
