2:38 the Earlington Heights-Airport shuttle operation. It's actually pretty cool since they try to make it a perfect cross platform transfer. Not actually perfect but decent.
The Proposed New Blue Line Run to Hard Rock Stadium, The East-West Corridor was Was having Option and The Orange Line Extension is in one of the options
It's been every 30 minutes evenings and weekends ever since the Orange Line was truncated to a shuttle when covid hit. They've started the process of reinstating it full time and are training new T/O's to fill the slots, so I hope as soon as November.
30 minutes that's stupidly infrequent! When they bought those cars they should have automated the system like Vancouver's Skytrain and run frequent trains like every 2 or 3 minutes. One subway with frequent trains is the same as an expressway with 20 lanes of traffic each way.
I wish Dallas Used the Hitachi Trains for its future D2 subway. Love the Look, sound and Design. Prefer Heavy and commuter over the Continuous light rail. The new SilverLine in Northern Dallas will use the Stadler Flirt for commuter service
A four carriage train every 30 mins? Let’s call the capacity of the average train carriage 100, that comes out to 800 per direction per hour for capacity. Let’s be nice and round it to 1000. Even on weekends, surely that’s just stupidly low, (the Victoria line in London has a capacity of ~40,000 for comparison)
Hardly a good comparison. It's really a purposeless line that is in dire need for expanding with a branch line and a connection to another line that stays in a small area. Busses and Cars take up the majority of Florida.
Yes I know but on our side of the pond politicians especially Republicans are notoriously stingy with public transport investment, operation, and upkeep
If I didn’t know for a fact that these trains are brand new, I’d guess they were 20 years old. It’s a shame we can’t get some truly modern rolling stock on American metros. Open gangways anyone???
Fear of crime is difficult to overcome. At a stop you could flee the criminal and escape to the next car and be safe. So the US transit authorities theory goes. Real reality he'll just chase you and you'll have to fight others getting on and off. Whereas on a gangway you'll get to attract more people's attention.
Looks like a combination of Vancouver's Skyway system, Tokyo's JNR system, a hint of Chicago's CTA, a dash of Washington DC's WMATA, and bits-n-pieces of other foreign cities with their Metrorail systems (scenic backgrounds like London's Docklands Railway); at some point, the line does run on the surface coming from the Southwestern direction before reaching downtown, although it IS completely elevated and could easily pass as a monorail: the Television show 'Miami Vice' and a local getting summonsed for feeding her baby on the train introduced me to The Metrorail. . . with all that monies mammy spent on building @#$%^&*☆○! highrise condominiums in a single bound-and that's nationwide too-you mean to tell me that same amount of money can't be spent on rapid transit expansion???
Baltimore & Miami cooperated together when they both were building their Metro systems and Co-Bid on the BUDD Metro Cars to get some savings. Miami has replaced all of their BUDD train cars now.

Great action shots. Some of the platforms definitely need attention, e.g., gras growing between the tiles and uneven platform tiles.
Miami sure has grown since I rode these trains in the mid 90s!

Thanks Tim for sharing this metro system with us. The system has really grown since it first opened.
👍👍😄😄
This system is in dire need of an upgrade and expansion 😌!!

PS I went to the U of Miami in the mid 80s. When the Metrorail opened the trains were like every 15 minutes.

Very nice video💛
@2:41 anybody know why they are going the same direction ?

See the disused Brightline terminal a couple times. Supposed to restart in November.
I’m pretty sure they have already reopened operations

There are plenty of places "in the sticks" in the UK that get a much better frequency of service than that and more carriages per train too.

You'll have to go to New York and Atlanta in a few years for that.

30 minute wait is absolutely ridiculous.

30 minutes its toooooo long time to wait not a surprise being so little used....
only on weekends, week days is a much less wait.
It runs 30 Min on the Weekends, 10 Min on Peak, 15 Min on Off Peak, The Headway will change will the New Line open
Ah yes, the subway that is not a subway
😁
Hey it’s Florida they had too no other way around it.
@@natenae8635 maybe build light rail instead of wasting shit loads more money on an infrequent heavy metro system
@@CreatorPolar That too but the metro was needed. The area heavily populated they just however need to as you said make the service more frequent.
Chicago has something like this, so what's the suprise?

So, Miami is no different from Baltimore Metro Subway. We really are brothers in arms
