"As Brightline prepares for the opening of its Miami station this weekend, the ride-sharing service Lyft announced it has inked an exclusive partnership with the private-rail company to help get travelers to their final destinations," reports Jennifer Sorentrue.

"At all three of Brightline's stations (Miami, West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale), Lyft will offer pick-up and drop-off 'lounge' areas, wayfinding communications and a designated area for drivers to wait for new rides," according to a separate article by Jason Plautz. "Lyft will also offer discounted rides to and from any of the stations this weekend to kick off the partnership."
