After all, we've bent over backwards to accommodate the company's 79 mph trains whooshing by our backyards and blocking busy intersections. All that accommodation, only to learn the average of $34 for short-distance trips in South Florida wasn't worth Brightline's trouble, not when they can now fetch $80 from Orlando passengers. ...
