ORLANDO — Brightline is set to nearly double service between Orlando and Miami on Monday, Oct. 9, moving from eight to 15 daily round trips.

Trains from Orlando to Miami run on a near-hourly basis beginning at 4:38 a.m. (good for an 8:11 a.m. arrival in Miami), with the last departure at 8:54 p.m. (arriving at 12:32 a.m.) The largest gaps in southbound departures are 2 hours late in the day, with departures at 4:54 p.m., 6:54 p.m., and 8:54 p.m.

From Miami to Orlando, departures begin at 6:41 a.m. (arriving at 10:19 a.m.) and conclude at 9:41 p.m. (arriving at 1:19 a.m.). The largest service gap southbound is 2 hours between 12:41 p.m. and 2:41 p.m.

The company had initially announced plans for 16 round trips beginning later this month, but dropped one planned afternoon departure in each direction to avoid potential conflicts with Florida East Coast Railway freight service.

Schedule and booking information is available at the Brightline website.
