30 minute headways on the weekend is INSANE for a heavy rail system. Especially in a tourist city like Miami that might have more people going downtown on the weekend.
Our metro is a joke. We have one line with way too many stations. That''s why it takes so long. Down south makes sense with the mall, UM, The hospitals, some residential, then downtown but after that it's the hood... A little more hood... Then middle of no where industrialized medley.
Miami should extend the Orange & Green Line south to Southland Mall, replace the people mover with an Orange Line extension to Miami International, build an East-West Line from Downtown to FIU along SW 8th Street, and build 2 Green Line branches: One follows 195 East to Miami Beach, the other follows NW 27th Ave to Miami-Dade College and Hard Rock Stadium…just my thoughts
An update on that: so far, the only Metrorail extension confirmed is the one to Hard Rock Stadium. Besides that, the other routes you mentioned are, in one way or another, part of the Miami-Dade Smart Program, which all include plans for future rapid transit corridors.
@@gametendough3380 Looks like Miami-Dade County Transportation Planning Organization saw my comment lol. In all seriousness, I’m glad that they’re doing this. It always seemed weird to me that Miami has a modern looking metro service, but it doesn’t reach the rest of Miami and surrounding areas. Really good for them!!
@@ilevyzeke They've been saying that for years. We don't have the tax money for that. Homestead has been crying for a line for years so office workers don't have to drive to down town. The issue is when they gave all the stations to the inner city where they have two stations not even a mile between each other in the 80's. Then Hialeah, then the airport, then middle of no where industrialized medley.
I 100% agree. Miami-Dade Transit needs to expand their rail system all over Miami...especially to the beach! Metrobus is always crowded Miami between Miami Beach (due to tourist and jobs). Expanding the rail line to the beach would be one of the highest usage in North America.
@@HOUExplorer As one of your Subs thank you for this great video! We have been trying for decades now to get MetroRail to Miami Beach and it was promised back in 2002 when we passed a half cent sales tax for Transit but the NIMBYs have stood in the way. How badly is this rail link needed? Over 14,000 people use Metrobus daily to get from South Beach to Downtown Miami.
According to the video to get to the historic overtown train station (brightline) we should take 2 trains. Could you please tell us how frequently each of the trains run? Excellent video, it is very helpful for tourists
Hello and thank you. During the weekend or holidays, Orange Line runs between MIA Airport and Earlington Heights Station (departs every 15 minutes). At Earlington Heights station, wait for the Green Line southbound to Downtown Miami (usually arrives 30 minutes). Once the Green Line southbound arrives, exit to Historic/Overtown station and walk towards to Brightline Station (here is a walk video from Historic Overtown station to Brightline: ruclips.net/video/m_MHo3WLGU0/видео.htmlsi=F5gHMdkPQcQ3XrgG)
You see that seam in the middle of the vinyl covered seats? It's completely full of crusty nasty gunk. It's better to stand then to have to come in contact with whatever is in there.
I'll be riding the Metrorail in Miami in about 18 weeks when I come down for a week vacation in April 2024. I'm looking to get a 7 day pass on an Easy Card, and I'll be coming in on the Brightline, so I'll likely start my ride at Government Center(I can walk there from the Brightline station just as easily). Not gonna wear a mask either.
Every time I visit Miami I'm surprised by how many locals dont like the metro. Airport workers should be one of the main users but they rather fight traffic on 95, 826, 836 or the turnpike than sit on a train. Other airports like O'Hare, JFK and Reagan have basically all their employees ride the trains in Miami the employee parking lots are huge and ever expanding
Great video! Very informative and straight forward/easy to understand. Hope you do one when the Orlando to Miami leg of bright line opens. Any idea how much the fare for that would be?
Thank you. I’m planning to visit Orlando and ride Brightline to Miami. I’m not sure about the price, but hopefully Brightline will announce the price soon.
He's riding the orange line. It's just the airport where there aren't too many people. Rich tourist usually don't take public transit. It's also the weekend so all those inner city stations usually don't have many people unless it's the weekday. It gets packed with workers on those days on any station, really. The other reason why might also be that we really only have one line & most of the county has no train station so it takes too long to get there by buss & then if get there by car you got pay the parking fee plus how long trips take on this thing defeating the purpose.
Molly kincaid you should go back with David Bass to help your classmates, Pam was helping boichelle Radford but orlando is too hard now on the youth, i once liked jody hunt but i became cellabate.. They still use bruce woods we are from New york , he is from brooklyn and i am from rochester. Stanley and teresa.
Hello. Most of them operates between early in the morning till midnight. However, few selected routes operates only midnights. Check-out the Miami-Dade Transit schedule, all Metrbus: www.miamidade.gov/transportation-publicworks/routes.asp and Metrorail: www.miamidade.gov/transportation-publicworks/rail_schedules.asp
Regarding the fun fair to get access. Can I use my credit card to tap and go? How much would an uber ride cost from the airport to downtown Miami? Thank you.
Yes, tap your credit card at the fare gate. I believe the one way fare to Downtown Miami is $2.25 (ride is around 15-20 minutes). If taking Uber...the estimate cost is around $25-$45. For more information about Miami-Dade Transit fare, checkout their fare's webpage: www.miamidade.gov/global/transportation/transit-pass.page
Yes. The Orange Line stops a Brickell and the station where you get off is called Brickell Station. The ride between MIA Airport to Brickell is around 15-20 minutes.
Our metro rail system started on the right foot in the late 70's but in the mid 80's turned into a politically driven project that would later also become a way to scam citizens out of their money through the half cent initiative that ended up being used for office new office positions & employee raises rather than new lines.

❤ THIS IS A FANTASTIC HIGH QUALITY + VERY DETAILED TUTORIAL....THANK YOU SO MUCH...IS EXCELLENT !!!!
It will be really cool when the Miami and Orlando airports are connected via the Brightline Train in a few months.
This is Fantabulous, while Disney talks MIAMI does!
You've got one deeply HOMESICK native of My native hometown of MIAMI!

Txs for the video... so, I understand that at the airport station, we just can take the orange line, rigth?
Txs
Yes. The Orange Line is the only line that stops at the airport station.
@@HOUExplorer txs so much!!
Wow I can't believe 1 year has passed since this video was uploaded!
I know…it felt like I’ve done this a few months ago…time flies.
UR The Only 1 Riding The Metro 🚇 Dang Where Is Everybody AT
I also ride the metro in Miami and it’s just like that people in Florida have cars but I can’t drive
He's riding the orange line. It's just the airport where there aren't too many people. Rich tourist usually don't take public transit. It's also the weekend so all those inner city stations usually don't have many people unless it's the weekday. It gets packed with workers on those days on any station, really.

maybe one day in the future we’ll be able to overcome the water challenge in florida and we’ll be able to expand the lines underground
Not Gonna Happen, the Metrorail will get extended to 215th Street via 27th Av I'm Guessing the New Line will Called the Red Line
what say you of the cleanliness of the public transportation and the homelessness in the city?
Molly kincaid you should go back with David Bass to help your classmates, Pam was helping boichelle Radford but orlando is too hard now on the youth, i once liked jody hunt but i became cellabate.. They still use bruce woods we are from New york , he is from brooklyn and i am from rochester. Stanley and teresa.
Is the video sped up at any point?
Hi everyoone! Metrobus and Metrorail is a 24 hours service?
Hello. Most of them operates between early in the morning till midnight. However, few selected routes operates only midnights.

Do I have to get out outside airport station to catch the orange line to brickell?
You have to board the MIA Mover (a small train) that connects between the airport and train station.
Regarding the fun fair to get access. Can I use my credit card to tap and go?
How much would an uber ride cost from the airport to downtown Miami? Thank you.
Yes, tap your credit card at the fare gate. I believe the one way fare to Downtown Miami is $2.25 (ride is around 15-20 minutes). If taking Uber...the estimate cost is around $25-$45.

I would like to know if the orange line goes to Brickell without getting lose and back to the airport during stopovers
Yes. The Orange Line stops a Brickell and the station where you get off is called Brickell Station. The ride between MIA Airport to Brickell is around 15-20 minutes.
@@HOUExplorer I hope enjoying 5 hours stopover in Brickell because my flight is overnight to Peru 🇵🇪
Did you saw Proterra bus in Miami yet
Not yet. I'm hoping to find one and board.
