After doubling service between Miami and Orlando on Oct. 9, Brightline introduced three new passes for frequent travel across its South Florida stations in Orlando, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Aventura and Miami.
The cost of the pass is divided by the total number of rides. Brightline's All-Station Share Pass is available for purchase starting at $1,199 for rides for 90 days, along with two cheaper monthly passes for $399 and $229.
