The City and County do a good job of having connections (Sun Shuttle, BCT [Broward County Transit]) - but a walk downtow will take a good 30 - 45 min. As to the actual station, there's not enough benches... or trash cans. There's also so much anxiety if the train is coming, if you're on the right platform, the trains don't run late enough, and the transit cops can often be... brusque. But it's such a net positive to have rail options (with signage and audio message in three (3!) languages) in this urban-surburban-car-dominated-megaopolis. I support it fully and want MORE investment in stations like this to make it better.

About Sheridan Street station is a Tri-Rail commuter rail station in Hollywood, Florida.

This is a very clean, roomy and modern Tri-Rail station. For those who commute to/from here,…read morethere's plenty of parking. We got off here to get to the Yellow Green Farmer's market and the gate that used to be open (connecting the two) was locked. Some riders decided to jump a fence to get to the Farmer's Market. We opted to find alternate options. First we thought we could walk easily to the market, but the path given by the GPS was not very clear. We finally opted to get a ride share and for about $5 we got to the market. Based on previous reviews, these two were connected at one point, not anymore. Sadly I guess there's a way to walk over if we get out of the station, take a left, walk on the sidewalk along Sheridan, then take a left onto the market parking lot....that whole trek would probably take 20-25 min.

To be blunt, I'm not sure who this service is for. It's not a commuter train nor is it the…read morecomfortable and easy shot to Disney I expected. It doesn't work well for those with heavy luggage and it's too expensive for families. After checking in, the app dumps you into your return trip, so you might not realize you're in the wrong seat because it defaults to the wrong QR code. It's also impossible to cancel your trip from the app. Once you're able to access it via Chrome, at best, you're refunded 15% of your ticket and that's just as more BL credit. Generally, I found both stations inaccessible and inefficient outside of the fact they have plugs on almost every chair. The Aventura station had hellishly loud music and required walking across a pedestrian bridge with escalators that were extremely small for a train that caters to people with luggage. Both directions they waited until 5-8 minutes before boarding to let everyone down to the platform (the number of which was an exciting surprise because they don't list it in writing anywhere but make an announcement on the loud speaker which could hamper those who are deaf or HOH) so it was a rush and would be difficult for slow walkers or people with a cane, walker, or injury. The top reason I would not personally recommend BL was the cell service - little to no cell service for the majority of the last leg of the trip. So I got to spend a surprise 2 hours in SOS/one bar mode with a screaming baby on my train. Although my trip back was better (no baby, full 4 seat area to myself, prepared and downloaded videos, train was mostly on time) I just don't see myself taking Brightline again. So what changes could they make? Well they could list the track number on the boards. Offer pre-board to those who need more time. They could have specific trains be direct from MIA/FLL to Orlando. They could have 21+/business cars and separate family cars with stroller parking, a changing table and a small child seat in the bathroom, as well as booster seats with seatbelts. Food could be ordered via the app (not a QR code). And finally they could make sure offboarding can take place from any car. All that being said, I preferred flying and don't see myself using them again.

Then as we approached the parking and loading/unloading area, there was a lot of trash around the vicinity of the station.

No need to walk over the bridge to platform 2, which would be the northbound direction. There are vending machines to the left of the main building. Unfortunately they don't have a Tri-Rail app where you can load your ticket or passes...it has to be done with paper tickets or EasyCard, which would be used for people that frequent the train.
