That's heavily ironic too, since Brightline shills Lyft all the time. In their weekly "where can you go with Brightline" emails, the majority of destinations are infeasible to reach by public transportation.
>>1394185Very few people are using it. It has a very niche use case, in that it only works if you live in a place connected to downtown and want to travel to another downtown. Since south Florida is mostly endless suburbs with points of interest spread out in all that garbage, that means there's actually not much you can reach with any form of train here. Not Brightline, Tri-Rail, or Metrorail. Sure, there's some, but there's so much more you can't reach. It's a problem both with the area and with the transit. But of course, the transit problem is caused by cager politicians.
