As Rudy Tomarchio, 28, peers from the window of his 11th-floor Brickell apartment at the high-rises and construction cranes poking up from the horizon, he says there’s one thing missing from his view: a decent public transportation system.
Though Tomarchio’s commute to work consists of a couple of blocks’ walk to the Metromover station and then just one stop on the train, when he ventures beyond his Brickell neighborhood, he says he has trouble navigating Miami’s sprawling transportation system.
“It boggles my mind that they expect this to be a world-class city but there’s no modern public transit,” Tomarchio said.
