Flying isn’t the only way to get from point A to point B. In fact, if you’ve got the time, the wide windows and scenic routes along the railroad make for a delightful alternative to those who aren’t so keen to travel up in the air.
Florida is a massive tourist destination. Between Disney (DIS) -) and Universal Studios (CMCSA) -) theme parks, beaches, and other major tourist draws, the Sunshine State sees a great deal of traffic. In 2022, the state welcomed an estimated 137.6 million visitors. And now Florida’s Brightline train is making it easier than ever for those guests to visit multiple cities.
