Is there a train that runs from Orlando to Miami?

Florida's Brightline train now offers service from Orlando to Miami. It already offered transportation between West Palm Beach and Miami, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, and Aventura. Premium tickets, which start at $149, come with lounge access and a complimentary checked bag.



Yes, in 2026, the Brightline high-speed rail service is the primary and most popular train running between Orlando and Miami. The route connects Orlando International Airport (MCO) to Miami Central Station in approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes. As of early 2026, Brightline operates about 16 daily round trips, with "Smart" class tickets starting around $79 and "Premium" class (which includes lounge access and snacks) often priced between $149 and $200. While Amtrak’s Silver Meteor and Silver Star lines also run between the two cities, they are significantly slower—often taking 5 to 6 hours—and are less frequent. Brightline has transformed Florida travel by providing a luxurious, car-free alternative to the I-95 corridor, featuring leather seats, free Wi-Fi, and a "paperless" booking system through their mobile app. For travelers in 2026, it is the standard for fast, reliable transit between these two major Florida hubs, successfully competing with both short-haul flights and long-distance driving.
