Miami-Dade Transit to plans extend metromover to Marlins Stadium
Hi All,
Miami-Dade Transit will plans to extend the Metromover from Government Center to Marlins Stadium as well as new soccer stadium. The last extend service to Brickell in early 90s. http://www.thenextmiami.com/index.ph...tromover-loop/ Let the speculation begin. |

That makes sense.

The only issue I see with this is capacity issues. I feel like there will be way too many people for this technology to handle during game days.
And I wonder if this thing will run normally on non-game days. |
How long is the platform at government center?
This line could support longer trains of vehicles than usual. |
It needs to go to Miami Beach! It would become one of the heaviest used lines in the country if it did.
|
I love how they pursue this extension rather than any of the other possible extensions to the transit system that would be useful to residents or tourists on a daily basis.
|
Maybe they should use the MHI Crystal Mover that was just used for the airport?
It's only 3.5 miles more from the airport station to Marlins Stadium. Plus the Crystal Mover is significantly faster than the Innova 100 used on the present Metro Mover loops, and can be set to serve capacities of up to 48k per hour. |

not sure how this connects to MIC/metrorail or tri-rail??? |

If the county can get the rights to the CSX tracks it will be a Tri-Rail extension from the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC). The only way it would be a Metrorail extension is for the county to buy the right of way and remove the freight tracks. Either way if this does come to fruition it would be a great relief for east & westbound commuters. |

It would be cool if the Metrorail increases in lines.

Adding additional tracks would require enough space as you mentioned but some areas along this corridor are narrow since it runs south of the airport. http://cdn.cstatic.net/images/gridfs...30.13%20PM.jpg http://cdn.cstatic.net/images/gridfs...30.13%20PM.jpg |

Nice to see them expanding this though, Miami is starting to catch up and surpass it's Southern companions when it comes to transit. |
