In South Florida, the farther you go from Dadeland South it will take exponentially more time to commute. Way down here in Homestead there has been a massive explosion of housing deserts, so much that nearly all the available unprotected land is used up now. Commerical zones are packed with low value corporate retail down here. The expressways are a nightmare since so many people must travel to Miami for work. It's such a waste of time, not to mention vehicle costs. It's a nightmare for students that must travel to Miami Dade Medical campus also, as I had to. Have you ever tried to spend 4 hours a day studying while the bus or train is wrenching your neck and back the whole time slamming breaks and slamming acceleration? Don't get me started on the noise and lack of space to work.

If that was their intention that's certainly not what's happening. Have a look at Google's directions for a trip on the Busway, those are the actual real world results. Honestly the fact that the Busway is closely parallel with US1 makes it pretty impossible to give Busway traffic any priority.

they're not commuter trains. I swear these Miami-Dade county people keep building up this half-hearted Busway road. It doesn't help because the buses still have to stop at too many intersections since it's ground level and also parallel to gridlocked US1, as close as 20 feet! It shouldn't take 2.25 hours to go 35 miles, that's an effective speed of 15.56mph, because of the shear number of intersections. All the money getting dumped into this Busway should be going into expansion of the raised Metrorail train, bit by bit year by year. These political science majors and attorneys running the show can't comprehend that bicycle paced speed doesn't help citizens at all.

has alien remains for 6 years and doesn't do a DNA test? The same goofballs who use a blurry cam to officially record the supposed evidence of alien bodies. Colonel Philip Corso explained it in his 1997 book right before he died in 1998. He made it quite easy to read between the lines in that book. The whole purpose of UFOs was to massively expand military R&D by convincing companies who were refusing to engage in such activity. The military approaches a company, tells them all about this amazing alien device they found, and then dazzles with the lure of black project mysteries and the chance to own some of their very own advanced alien technology patents.
