      100%!!! We learned our lesson on our previous trip to Miami. We rented a car at the airport. First and last time we ever do that. $350 for 5 days plus $40 to fill up the tank at the end. Close to $500 for transportation during my stay in Miami when you factor in the Pay-To-Park spots 😒🤦🏻‍♂️

    Great video explaining how to use the metromover and I'm one of those people whom have actually used this system various times but I'm not an expert at using it therefore I have made some mistakes taking the wrong routes, etc. But all in all the metromover is the best thing downtown has to offer and I'm supportive of the experience for locals and tourists alike

    You did an absolutely awesome job in explaining how the Miami Metro mover works. I have always wondered how that system worked.
    It is certainly a great way to get around the city of Miami
    The fact that it is absolutely free to ride is another great thing I have difficulty walking long distances. This actually makes it a lot easier for me to get around the city of Miami whenever I am there I have not been there in a few years however, I hope to make it back to Miami someday soon me and my mother used to always go to Miami a few years ago, we had family members that lived in Miami

    What is your opinion of the City decision to have the Metro-Mover provid transportation to and from Miami Beach? vs Monorail

    • @xoxxobob61
      @xoxxobob61 Рік тому +4

      Almost all Public transit in Miami is run by the County Government so they are the ones who decided to extend Metro-Mover to Miami Beach so it has nothing to do with the City of Miami. As for the Monorail it was a proposal by developers who wanted to build Casinos which aren't Legal in Florida so that plan died when they were rejected by the State.

      @@CreightonRabs Yes they initially approved the Monorail but that plan died so they opted to extend the Metromover instead. Metrobus carries about 14,000 passengers a day from the Beach to downtown & that really is more than enough to warrant a Metro Rail extension.

    • @j-train13
      @j-train13 Рік тому +3

      Personally I'd say this is a much better decision, you never want to clutter a transportation network with tons of different systems, that just adds unnecessary complexity in managing (think things like maintenance) and it obstructs connectivity by forcing you to transfer between multiple entirely different track systems just to exchange branches. It was definitely a smarter move to expand the existing metromover system than to create a whole new monorail.
