From the insight editor

A city’s life is measured by its ability to get people moving. Every second counts. Miami’s public transportation system, therefore, plays a large role in this vital equation.

A contrast from the rest of our 305, half-baked institutions, the busses and metros do not carry the same delusions of grandeur that characterize the relationship between this city and its public projects. Metro Stations are no Wynwood Walls.

When the bus finally shows up and the doors beep open, the city opens and its surrounding absurdities are reduced to a blur. Here, the system’s potential is revealed.

While bullet train efficiency is too much, it is not ridiculous to assume that the city fueled by walk-thru espressos can ride to a greener, faster future.

Except for people whose parents pay their car bills, the desire for robust public transport exists in our pacey society.
