I've taken both but wasn't in the "evaluation mode" so I really don't recall. lol. But I'll definitely be going to see the metromover since I'm really pro transit. Thanks!

I agree with you now that I think about it regarding BART in San Fran. It was my DH's project to extend to the airport and it was pretty nice from what I remember. Up in the air not a ground train...

its doable man! Go see the metromover, it doesnt look bad at all. In fact it sort of goes with the whole miami thing. Its hard to explain but you get the right talented architect and it can be done where it looks nice and will be exceptable to folks.

The metromover is really pretty at night too, with colorful neon lights running along the track.
