Word of mouth was out, Brightline is offering specials. The challenge was on.  I shared with someone who might have difficulty.  My friend in his 80’s with cane, sharp of mind agreed and  at the other end was the arranged meet-up with Miami artist, also interested in seeing the Frank Stella exhibit, at the Ft. Lauderdale Museum.  We were not the first Lake Worthians to do this trip.

Charging stations everywhere plus under the seats.

I carry Lake Worth brochure as a group of friends  will be coming up for the Street Painting Festival.  The station is centrally located in W Palm Beach as well as in Ft. Lauderdale. and the soon to be completed Miami

#gobrightline the locations all centrally located.

Ft. Lauderdale arrival brought us right next door to the  Bus station  on Broward Blvd. and within walking distance to the Concert Hall,  Science Museum, the Art Museum. We took  taxi  $4 .00 To see Frank Stella.  The West Palm Beach location is beautifully located inside just north of City Place and south of Clamatis .   The trip from Lake Worth, Dixie Hwy and Lake Ave. takes exactly 17 minutes to the free parking provided by Brightline.  (for now all parking both places is free.) Taking into consideration traffic and Rosemary going through  City Place where there is a stop on each corner and of course people crossing in the middle of the block.  Seventeen minutes total !, Turn onto Elvernia east and you have arrived.  We got our tickets day before so as not to be rushed.  Get the app on the cell phone and do it all before you get there.

Artist George Taylor known for equestrian art. Yellow shirt was by chance.

Then head up the escalator and through the turn-style .  The Station are identical. On one end is Brightkids who have some amazing space with a TV that continuously plays cartoons.  I witnessed some awesome constructions .

self imposed barricade keeping parents on the other side.

I also did some live stream videos  from the moving train, My first attempt  to share the Brightline experience.  Not sure how  they turned out.  They are on my FB page AnnaMaria Windisch-Hunt. The entire station and train has lemon yellow accents with “a pale shade of gray ” throughout terminal and embroidered seats.  I was on coach and would never have thought so.  Having ridden on the Orient Express and it’s  luxury this was the modern version.  For a mere upgrade of $5  gets you two free drinks.  Coffee service was available for $2.14  on the train.  In the terminals you can self serve coffee or go get it from a barista.  Considering it is a new form of transportation with some resistance.  I know and so should you Brightline is here to stay.  The travelers few but it could have been the time of day I was boarding which changed by late afternoon.

The few passengers i got to know and  I spoke with were delighted with the service and the ambiance.  One father of two seen in video (grandmother lives in Lake Worth) they spent the entire day at the Science Museum.  One couple from Welling was celebrating her birthday and dined in Ft. Lauderdale.  Now the Evening was an eye opener

#gobrightline just a small group of millenials

in Ft. Lauderdale about 50 some millenials got on the train with the purpose of having fun and spending the evening in City Place. The reverse Las Olas is just a stone throw from Ft. Lauderdale station.   Then I spotted this couple who came dressed bright to celebrate Brightline, on their own just having fun.

Perfect guest for Diner en Blanc Lake Worth next year.  Lake Worth needs to do some Trolly transport from W Palm Beach to our Beach. The alcohol and many of the other amenities are shown on the 4 large screens.  Last but not least it is an all American made and assembled train . Your  $5 upgrade LOL looks like I did manage to get four videos and they are on my FB page AnnaMaria Windisch-Hunt  They have been viewed and this was my first experience with Brightline.  Not a commercial I do not do those but am sharing a new experience.  While exploring  W Palm Beach found UPTown Art and have been asked to share my talent via teaching how to paint the  beach bags which is seen in the very first image.
