ywheeler+FollowBrightline’s money troubles: What’s next for riders?Brightline just hit a major speed bump—delaying a $1.2 billion bond interest payment, which has investors lawyering up and locals wondering what’s next for Florida’s high-speed rail. Even with cash reserves, the company’s ridership hasn’t kept up, and commuters are feeling the pinch after a 251% fare hike. Yet, trains are packed and monthly passes are gone, making it harder for regulars to snag a seat. With expansion plans to Tampa still on the table, do you think Brightline can turn things around, or is this a sign of bigger trouble ahead? #Transportation #Brightline #FloridaTransit00Share
