Once completed, the station across from Aventura Mall, will connect travelers in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton and West Palm Beach. An expansion to Orlando is set for next year.

Trip time between downtown Miami and Aventura is expected to take about 15 minutes.

Tickets are now on sale on the Brightline app and website.
