TRANSIT

Miami-Dade's mayor acknowledged rider frustration with the system's myriad broken elevators and escalators, saying the county is looking at a change.

In a meeting that one Miami-Dade County commissioner said could “go down in history,” members of the county’s Transportation Planning Organization voted Thursday to commission separate studies that could eventually lead to changes in how residents, particularly those in living and working the western and southern portions of the county, get around.

Miami Beach city commissioners said Wednesday that they can’t yet commit to a Miami-Dade County plan to expand the Metromover system to traffic-clogged South Beach without more information, as opposition mounts from some residents — and non-residents.

After years of discussion and public clamoring, getting to Miami Beach by train may finally become a reality by the end of the decade.

Officials marked the completion of a new transit hub in downtown Fort Lauderdale Wednesday designed to connect various modes of transportation in one place.
