Interesting thought exercise. I think I’d be ok with surveillance

In an attempt to most accurately recreate the passenger information display systems of the new Berlin subway series J and JK vehicles, this simulator offers to experience the feeling of those monitors right at home. The download is available on GitHub, but for now the Read-Me is in german only, you'll have to translate it, I'm sorry. The simulator itself is also available with english translations, though.

System Expansion Now here's a Miami concept!

2 Upvotes

Okay... so there was a post going around about Miami. Now, here's my idea of a super simple, super cheap solution. If you're not familar with the area, open up maps to see how this all fits in. It just seems like massive overkill to try and build a non-stop to the airport. A quick switch in central Miami could be pretty painless. But here's the basic idea:

- About 1.2 miles of double track

- Automated people mover - similar to JFK air train

- As you can see there would be 4 (maybe 5?) stops along the port at the main terminals.

- Then it runs straight to Miami central where you can jump on the:

--- Metromover around downtown/brickell

--- Tri-Rail to elsewhere in South Florida

--- Brightline

--- Metrorail which goes directly to the airport and also to Amtrak

Now, we all know the average cruise passenger is petrified of transit and may not take metrorail from the airport, but a heck of alot will, to say nothing of those arriving via Brightline to Diseney etc. To top it off this could be free for cruise passengers, or probably even paid for by the ships.

Your thoughts!!!!
