Transit Tangents

Is Florida Building Real Transit?


Listen Later

We break down Miami’s fast-evolving transit network and spotlight the new Northeast Corridor commuter rail that links Miami Central to Aventura. From BRT with crossing arms to Tri-Rail’s downtown link and funding twists, we weigh benefits, risks, and what success looks like.

• Metrorail’s elevated spine and airport spur
• Metromover’s fare-free downtown coverage
• Tri-Rail’s 72-mile reach and downtown access
• Brightline’s influence on public investment
• Bus network redesign toward higher frequency
• South Dade Transitway BRT speed and priority
• SMART Plan context and North Corridor setback
• Northeast Corridor scope, funding, and timeline
• Station-by-station TOD potential and feeders
• Safety at crossings, flood resilience, capacity
• Why 30-minute peaks could shift behavior
