CBS Miami August 11, 2021 After being closed 20 months due to the pandemic, Brightline will resume operating sometime in November. Florida's higher-speed passenger rail service also said Tuesday that it is installing safety measures that it hopes will curb a spate of fatal collisions that have plagued it since it opened in 2017. President Patrick Goddard said the privately run company will resume with hourly service between Miami and West Palm Beach. Goddard said Brightline will require all employees be vaccinated against COVID-19 and follow federal regulations that mandate masks for crew and passengers inside its trains and stations.
