ORLANDO, Fla. — Nearly half a billion dollars in new financing is heading to Brightline as the passenger rail company works to address major debt obligations.
The financing is being committed by Brightline’s existing stakeholders and will be used to support a restructuring of the company’s debt.
Despite the financial restructuring, Brightline says it will continue exploring opportunities to grow its business.
The company also says ridership continues to increase. Through the end of last month, Brightline reported ridership was up 14% compared with the same period last year.
The financing comes as Brightline works to balance its financial obligations with continued growth in passenger demand.
