Florida East Coast Railway filed a lawsuit against Brightline in Miami-Dade Circuit Court. The suit claims Brightline omitted FECR from discussions regarding a proposed commuter rail line from Miami to Jupiter. This plan emerged after years of research by the Florida Department of Transportation. Brightline, which began passenger services in 2018, extended its operations to Orlando in 2023. The lawsuit states that Brightline's actions violated prior agreements established with FECR in 2016 and 2017.
The Florida East Coast Railway alleges that Brightline kept it uninformed while negotiating plans with county officials for a commuter rail line stretching over 85 miles from Miami to Jupiter.
Brightline's operations began in 2018 and include sleek trains connecting major South Florida cities. However, a lawsuit claims it overstepped agreements with FECR while starting new discussions.
