The trains has to run on legacy private routes in a state the has barley invested in trains in centuries.
It is a line not well integrated in the larger transportation system and has a limited scope. Getting to as many riders as they have is impressive.
Its unsafe because of Florida insane traffic engineering, not because of any issue with the trains or the company.
In the context of the US Brightline is clearly a success by a large margin.
- hedora 3y agoIt sounds like the tracks are a severe safety and performance issue, even after $6B in upgrades. The construction cost already puts the system at the edge of insolvency, even without considering operating costs. I agree they're doing well by US standards.
