Brightline Reports Strong Q2 Ridership And Revenue Growth Brightline served 889,242 passengers in the second quarter of 2026, up 18% from the same period last year. Total revenue hit $62.8 million, a 22% increase. That includes $49.2 million in ticket sales and $13.6 million from food, baggage fees, and onboard purchases. Long-distance riders made up most of the ticket revenue at 533,897 passengers. Short-distance trips grew faster, jumping 23% to 355,345, helped by commuter demand and four FIFA World Cup matches near the Aventura station. Baggage fees were the fastest-growing ancillary category, more than doubling in April compared to a year earlier. The Miami-to-Orlando service continues rebuilding its commuter base and expects further gains ahead.
