It literally just needs a frequent light rail -- frequent as in 5-10 minutes at most. One line, running from Wynwood to Downtown, Brickell, then across to South Beach. Could even be a loop, running up to 195 and then back to Wynwood. No need to run the thing underground, especially given the major problems the city already has with flooding, etc. Not to mention, an elevated light rail would provide some stunning views crossing the bay. That would be an instant game changer, and it's quite baffling that it's not a thing.
If Orlando is able to get a Sunrail line connecting Downtown, the Airport, and International Drive/Tourist trap town, I would think FDOT could fund a similar project in Miami.
