Metrorail: A tour into the realm of public transportation || Mariana

I'm probably not the only one – who has never traveled on a form of mass transportation in Miami. What? Where? The Metrorail? Yeah, I know it is the cool little train that you see when you go to Dadeland Mall or when you are driving through one of the downtown Miami streets.
Every time I see it I think of Disneyworld's monorail. But the fact is that I've never set foot on a Metrorail train.
Neither have I ridden a bus in Miami – ever; one time in Fort Lauderdale.
When I was in High School, a friend and I made the "excursion" from Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale to my house in Plantation. We rode the bus the get home. That was interesting, but a one-time experience, considering it took us about two hours to get home; a ride that would have taken us about half an hour in a car.
I believe I am not the only one and that there is most likely a large part of the Miami population who has never used one of these services unless they don't have another choice.
It seems convenient, you don't have to get stuck in traffic (in the Metrorail's case) and you don't have to drive. It is convenient in fact; look at mass transit in the northern cities like New York and Washington DC, even Boston.
Besides, we help get cars out of the roads, make less traffic, and reduce the amount of contamination in the atmosphere. I'm all for stopping global warming, but the problem is that the service is very limited.
The Metrorail only goes to a certain area of town and when you live where the civilization ends, you still have to make a journey to actually take the Metrorail.
Therefore, we continue to drive our cars, create traffic, and pollute. For now, it's the only choice we have.
For those, like me, who have never ridden the Metrorail, here is a video I found on YouTube of some brave Miamian who gave up his ride to show us what it feels like to make the trip from the South Miami station to the Dadeland station in Kendall. Enjoy!
