I am sitting on the 7pm Bright Line from Orlando to Miami and it is absolutely full.

I had to check my biases. I thought that I'd be the only one riding this train, because Florida is terminally carbrain.

Shame it's so slow. I was going back and forth between Jax and Orlando for a while and would have loved to take the train but it was like $100 one way and took twice as long as driving.

You might be thinking of TriRail, which is different

Just Florida trains in general. It still takes 3 or 4 hours though, right?

It's about the same as driving but far less hassle

Transit from one place designed for cars to another should beat driving handily, as it comes with the hassle of getting to the first place from where you start and getting from the second place to where you're going, and you can expect both of those to take longer than driving the same routes.
