I used it on my last year's visit to the Miami area. The train was very comfortable, but it is very very infrequent. I had to wait much longer than in other cities for the train to arrive.
Well maybe because you were taking it on a weekend because there is this phenomenon where every weekend orange line trains run as a shuttle to only one station. The frequency between the Metrorail on a weekday is a different story though. The service is actually quite frequent. Trains will come every 6 minutes and perhaps every 3 minutes during rush hour. Why? because the orange and green line trains run together on weekdays and you don't have to transfer to continue if your destination is the airport.
@@mbclev That order was combined with Baltimore & Miami back in 1981. Baltimore got them first, and Miami received theirs in 1984. The Miami cars did not have a front destination sign, nor equipped with heating for those brutal winters up in the Northeastern USA. Budd (aka Transit America) closed-up shop after 1987, thanks to Kawasaki of Japan which was glomming up most new subway car orders, and making it very difficult for Budd to compete.
This is such an underutilized system. Miami really needs to take it head out of its ass, and build more Metrorail instead of BRT. Yes it's expensive, but worth it in the long run. People can argue about ridership, but if you have poor zoning and no TODs to support the system, then duh ridership will suck lol. Idk just my opinion. Miami will stick to BRT along with most US cities. America will learn...
We Miami voters in 2002 Voted for an increase of our Local Sales Tax by 1/2 a percent to solely fund the expansion of Metrorail and other Mass transit projects. We were promised Metrorail to South Beach, Homestead and into Kendall but 20 years later none of these "promises" have been fulfilled by the County Government & now we are going to have some lame ass BRT instead.
@@TheLIRRFrenchie... It's frustrating because Miami has the Density to make Mass Transit work yet we have these fools running our Transportation system.
@@xoxxobob61 exactly!! People ride the metrorail 🤷🏾♂!! So I'm not understanding why it isn't a top priority over BRT. I remember the last time they mentioned a metrorail extension, it was to go north and be at grade with at grade crossings 🙄. Who tf is in charge in that county 😂!!!
Why do you need train? Just take a car and get there where you want. You people are so lazy to go from one place to another. Especially on foot. This is why the rest of the world is making fun of Americans because you're all obese from eating fast foods and too lazy to walk.

They finally got rid of the old trains yaaaaaay
Very nice metrorail

This is the newest El train system in America.
Awesome! Thank you! I posted a video of a bus trip in the north of Russia. Happy viewing.
Tim has just yet to start a premiere at my daily sleep schedule. 10:00PM
gorgeous
All the.old trains already out of service?
They were sold or retired.
My old stomping grounds 🥺🤣🤣🤣
Traction system sounds like it came from Bombardier.
I'll be riding these trains this coming April. Not wearing a mask on them either.
Did you find Budd UTV trains in Miami yet
They got retired around 2018, sadly.
You might still see similar Budd UTV trains in Baltimore (on the Metro Subway line, not light rail).

i wanna go to Miami
I like the very brief but very firm 'No mask, no ride.' This in marked contrast to 'passengers must wear a mask' announcements we hear in Britain.
what's the difference, dude.

italian trains pls!
These new trains were built by Hitachi, and they seem to run great, until they get all worn-out like their older Budd's did.
