Brightline, a high-speed intercity rail service in the United States, has announced a new partnership with Uber to offer customers a seamless and ultra-convenient way to travel between its five South Florida stations. This collaboration is the first of its kind, as it directly links Uber’s operations and booking platform to a high-speed intercity rail service in the United States.
With this new partnership, customers can now book Uber rides directly through Brightline’s mobile app, making it easy to get door-to-door service. This eliminates the hassle of trying to catch a ride from the station to the final destination, and helps to reduce traffic congestion and protect the environment.
Brightline’s Premium-class customers will have access to complimentary Uber rides within a five-mile radius of their departure point. Smart-class guests can also book rides to and from the train station for an additional fee without any distance restrictions.
This partnership is a major step forward in the travel industry, making it easier than ever for customers to get around South Florida using both train and car services. It also marks Uber’s first direct link to a high-speed intercity rail service, a move that could pave the way for future collaborations in other cities.
