Brightline’s “SMART” one-way tickets from Orlando start at $79 for adults and $39 for kids. Brightline’s goal was to develop a way to transport people who want to travel to destinations that are too long to drive but too short to fly.

The new Orlando station is right at the Orlando International Airport in Terminal C, so if you’re flying into Orlando, it’s easy to hop on the train to your final destination. And if you’re traveling from your home in Orlando, they offer parking at the airport’s Garage C. And similar to air travel, they offer checked or carry-on bags. SMART fares for checked bags are $25 per bag.
