It doesn’t seem that the authorities in south Florida have any appetite for transportation expansion that doesn’t involve building new highways.
They’re getting rid of late-night regional-rail service:
Implementation of the “BRT lite” proposal in south Miami-Dade County keeps getting delayed.
I also noticed they’re widening the Florida Turnpike as well. They have signs posted along the portion they’re widening boasting about it. Clearly nobody in this backwards-thinking state cares about transit (or actually reducing traffic) and would rather everyone suffer in these traffic-riddled sewers.
yep - I have family in Miami, and they complain about traffic the same way we complain about the weather in NY - the only difference is that they have the option to change it

This addition seems to be part of a major renovation and upgrade plan that includes several more glass bridges.

A planned commuter train between Miami and Fort Lauderdale saw its funding plan derailed Monday by Florida’s new state budget, which defunds a key source of transit dollars for the $927 million project, according to county officials. If funded, the Northeast Corridor project — also known as the Coastal Link — would bring a version of Tri-Rail commuter trains to the heart of the Miami area’s urban corridor, east of Interstate 95. Miami-Dade has been planning stations in Wynwood, Little Haiti, North Miami and other neighborhoods along the route, which would eventually stretch north to Palm Beach County.
This is so tiring to hear. The Miami region needs better transit because the traffic is terrible, I-95 is a traffic-clogged sewer, and the widening projects they’re doing, I’m sure, are able to continue without delay, will only worsen it.
DeSantis is an absolute clown, and needs to be removed since it’s apparent he doesn’t care about the residents of Miami who are stuck dealing with traffic that is only going to worsen.
Here is some news that does not involve Signature Bridge or the Miami airport, so it will be of very limited interest to anyone.
However, here goes:
Metro Express Bus Rapid Transit Service
Metro Express, Miami-Dade County’s first-ever all-electric Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service, launches Oct. 27 . This state-of-the-art system represents a major leap forward for public transportation, transforming how we move and enhancing connectivity throughout the community. Metro Express connects riders to jobs, schools, healthcare, and other essential services across South Dade.
More needs to be done, but this is a start.
I sooo could have used this as a teenager living in this area. My stop was Eureka Dr, one of the Express stops.
it’s not a start; it’s an epic fail
$300 million wasted on a dud

Miami-Dade’s $300 million rapid-transit bus system failed to fully deliver during its first morning rush hour Monday, with passengers facing delayed arrivals and crowded buses stalling at red lights that were supposed to turn green automatically.
“These lights are way too long,” Vernon Huggins, a 49-year-old cook, said from his seat on a northbound Metro Express electric bus shortly before 9 a.m. “The red lights take up a lot of time.”
Only in Florida… 
Love the emoji.
