Brightline's booking system experienced issues Thursday following the announcement. The company released this statement:
"There was significant excitement regarding Brightline’s launch this morning. We are working to resume booking through the website and mobile apps as soon as possible. Brightline looks forward to welcoming our guests on board this weekend."
West Palm Beach Mayor Jeri Muoio met with Brightline officials late Thursday afternoon to talk about quiet zones.
Brightline will now have until March 26 to get all quiet zones ready and then 21 days to certify them. By April 17, all quiet zones are required to be enacted in Palm Beach County.
Brightline will work from north to south, starting at 15th Street.
They're required to report every 15 days.
Brightline released the following statement early Thursday afternoon:
"All safety upgrades required for Brightline’s service are in place. Brightline is working with the three county transportation planning agencies to implement a quiet zone between 15th Street in downtown West Palm Beach and PortMiami in downtown Miami. Quiet zones are expected to be implemented over the next few months as more construction is required."
Mayor Muoio said she doesn't plan to attend Friday's media event for Brightline.
