@AadhiR3211 Miami is ALREADY one of the world's premier destinations. However I do agree it would benefit from mass transit.

@themaxlopez And the best part is that Miami already has the foundation to build a reliable transit system Just expand the Metrorail, build out BRT lanes, etc

@BiznewsPaulB @FixMetroMDT I know… it’s a travesty They would rather spend billions of dollars on double decker freeways over improving transit

Transit isn't just transportation. It's quality of life. Maybe Miami will catch up to Mumbai one day.

Miami currently allows developers to close sidewalks for years of construction. For a single round trip, a pedestrian or wheelchair user must cross dangerous traffic 4 times. DDA staff understood this must stop. 2/2 @ralphrosado305 @damianpardo8 @downtownmia #mobility #Dignity

Hate to tell you but #Miami officials are clueless about public transit. All they have to do is model a system like Chicago, Philadelphia or Boston. But they think buses are only form of transit rather than making sure trains go in every direction across metro area. @FixMetroMDT

The fact that the Metrorail doesn’t go to Miami beach (one of THE most popular suburbs of Miami) is seriously such an embarrassing policy failure

@MiamiBeachNews Expand the Metromover

Yes, a MetroMover extension to the port is the likely best option. I have drawn a potential high level alignment of that, although it would likely need additional stops, one for each terminal, and express service to each. This would directly connect the port of miami visitors with numerous hotels across the urban core, parking facilities (that are already used for port overflow parking), and the mterorail, tri-rail and brightline, it is a no-brainer. The only people I think would be opposed to a metromover extension to the Port would be the Taxis and rideshare companies.

We’ve received a lot of feedback on bike lanes in Downtown on NE 5th ST based on a story that ran on CBS. To be clear, we are not in favor of removing bike lanes. We are currently exploring how to make NE 5th ST safe for cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers while together moving traffic more safely and efficiently. Part of that effort involves redesigning the street and bike lanes to include elevating the lanes and/or changing the infrastructure. The urban core represents a cluster with the highest incidence of cyclist fatalities and serious injuries in Miami Dade. And Miami Dade ranks first among similarly sized cities in the State and in the nation. We understand how important mobility options and connectivity are in the urban core and throughout our City, and as a cyclist myself, I witness firsthand the need to improve safety, cycling lanes, street design and traffic. On Northeast 5th Street, which is a major corridor and key route to the Port of Miami and the Fire Station, illegal parking in the bike lane has become a life threatening issue. When cars block the lane, it creates hazards for cyclists and pedestrians, and it contributes to congestion and gridlock for everyone. On weekends, cruise passengers carry their luggage across Biscayne Blvd to the Port. Miami Police have issued just under 100 citations in the past three months alone. Enforcement is not enough. We need structural changes. Our goal is simple: safer streets, better traffic flow, and mobility solutions that work for the neighborhood today and in the future. #safetyfirst @LSewardWCPO @CBSMiami @downtownMIA @CityofMiami @OmniCRA

@kaufsports @MiamiHerald @HeraldSports Amazing how these stadiums are built and then they wait until it is finished to figure out how people are supposed to get there...which means lack of parking.

@kaufsports @MiamiHerald @HeraldSports Only 4,500 parking spaces available. So Public Transport will be the most economical and logistical option for most fans.

@kaufsports @MiamiHerald @HeraldSports Cause public transportation is so massive in Miami, a limited metrorail service and buses caught in traffic, good luck

because of what use is a public bus filled with people that’s forced to share a road with a bajillion private vehicles, the majority of which occupied by not more than one person (the driver)

public transit system. As a result, the bus was constantly getting stuck in traffic, moving only a few inches every 5 minutes (and this bus, route 100, was absolutely packed to the brim mind you) The least Miami can do is add BRT lanes

I’ve had first hand experiences of this: on Sunday a group of friends and I were taking a bus from downtown to Miami Beach. But it took so much longer than it needed to because leaders in this place would rather spend billions of dollars on highway infrastructure than fix their…

Miami is a beautiful city that legitimately has all the potential in the world to be one of the world’s premier destinations You know what it deserves: a functional and expansive public transit system. Traffic is just out of control in this place

@MichaelBruner @nickgillespie @DrPopCultureUSA Miami public transit is terrible and basically non-existent at night. Miami is a decent size city and your options are deal with the shitty public transport, buy a car or uber everywhere.

@RogerT1972 @MiamiHerald @HeraldSports I will ask that question. Maybe you just show on your phone that you purchased a ticket that day

@kaufsports @MiamiHerald @HeraldSports The Metrorail and buses have a tap your card system. How can you bring the proof that they are asking for?
