Brightline gives Florida public school staff up to 25% off SMART SELECT fares and up to 15% off SMART SAVER fares between South Florida and Orlando. You get the discount by opening a Brightline account with your school employee email, and it’s for active employees only.
Brightline is the passenger train that runs between Orlando and South Florida, with stops in West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Aventura and Miami. If you’re a teacher heading to Orlando for a conference, a long weekend or a visit with family, this is the offer to look at before you book a seat.
How To Get The Brightline Teacher Discount
- Open Brightline’s teacher discount page and choose Book Now.
- Create your Brightline account with your school employee email address. A personal email won’t work, because the account has to be opened with an active work email.
- Book a trip between a South Florida station and Orlando while you’re logged in to that account.
- Pick a SMART SELECT fare for up to 25% off or a SMART SAVER fare for up to 15% off, then check the total at checkout before you pay.
The lowest SMART SAVER fare on this offer is $39 and the lowest SMART SELECT fare is $59, for rides arriving and departing from Orlando. One reservation can carry anywhere from one to 12 passengers, so you can book for your family or a group of coworkers in one go.
What The Terms Rule Out
This discount is narrower than the headline, so read these limits before you plan around it:
- It’s valid for travel between South Florida and Orlando only. A short trip from Miami to Fort Lauderdale doesn’t qualify.
- The 15% applies only to SMART SAVER fares and the 25% only to SMART SELECT fares. FLEX fares are excluded.
- You can’t combine it with any other promotion, and it only works on eligible trains, subject to availability and blackout dates.
- Only active employees in the counties Brightline lists are eligible. Brightline doesn’t say which counties on the offer page, so if you’re not sure your school district is covered, ask Brightline before you buy.
The Orlando Station
Brightline’s Orlando station is at 10705 Jeff Fuqua Blvd, Orlando, FL 32827, and it’s run in partnership with Orlando Health. The station opens at 4:30 AM every day and stays open until the last train leaves. Parking there is open around the clock, which helps if your train gets in late at night.
