Miami Metromover Brickell Loop Cab Ride

Front window view of a ride on the Miami-Dade Transit Metromover Brickell Loop starting at Financial District station. Traveling along the Brickell branch and counter-clockwise around the core Metromover loop, this ride takes you through the heart of Brickell and Downtown Miami amongst the towers that make up the city!
Pro tip: watch is at 2x speed for a timelapse!

The Urban Mass Transit Administration in the 1970s Awarded 3 US Cities to develop People Mover systems which went to Detroit, Jacksonville and Miami. Out of the three only Miami was able to make it a success by tying it into the city's Metrorail system. The view from the front is fantastic!

It is a pretty nice ride, and you're right it really only makes sense as a local distributor for the Metrorail. Jacksonville and Detroit could potentially increase ridership by putting parking garages near the stations, incentivizing people to drive in and take the people mover around downtown. I did hear that Jacksonville's system is going to be closing soon though...

@@mvcrailphotos UGH! Don't get me started on Jacksonville and their Transit systems! They could be given a Subway and wouldn't know how to Operate it!

Cool Vid also the 2x speed made was worth it!

I was in Miami last month and rode on the metromover. Only thing I didn't like about it is that it's notorious for breaking down and sometimes, you have to wait like forever for the doors to close.

I remember the doors taking surprisingly long to close too! Thankfully I didn't experience any breakdowns though.

Pretty much the metromover has shown it’s age through the years and I remember when this used to be a little faster even when they used to have the older cars. But I heard they’re getting some refurbishments to This system and possibly extending it.

I missed out on the opportunity to ride the metromover during my trip in miami 😕 i was right near the station with the basketball courts. Anything beats Boston's train system. Don't come up here expecting a short commute. Rail work won't be done until the end of 2025. Shuttle buses replacing every train line for weeks on end....best not get carried away. I miss visiting miami Brickell is beautiful 🥲

Awesome! I´ve been watching a lot your videos from NY subway. Please man, make some videos of Chicago CTA trains.
