Construction began in November 2014. The route began revenue service in January 2018, initially between Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. The Miami to Fort Lauderdale segment began revenue service in May 2018. Infill stations at Aventura and Boca Raton opened in December 2022, and the West Palm Beach to Orlando segment began revenue service in September 2023. Additional stops are being planned for the route.
