That’s not the only thing wrong with MDT system. Their ability to hire the most unprofessional drivers this country may have to offer is amazing. I’ve been using MDT for the past year now and have come across drivers who pass up people because they weren’t literally standing up while they drove by, stopped and pulled over to get something to eat or buy something from a street vendor etc…I haven’t even touched on there customer service department when you call in. MDT system in my opinion needs an overhaul!

I live in Miami Beach, and work on 97th and 41st in Doral. I would love to take the bus, but cannot justify the 1.5 to 2 hours it would take… It’s 25 minutes in, and about 40 minutes home (in rush hour). If only we had a train…

I do a similar commute every day. Once on 36th, waiting for my ride home and having just missed the 36 bus at 6:04 p.m., I counted 1,184 cars going my direction before the next bus. I would also like to have some good assessment of how bad the air is out that way, standing at the bus stop pressed against 8 lanes of traffic, looking like a pariah.

When I first moved to Miami 6 years ago, I took the bus from 41st St on Miami Beach to Doral. An exact straight shot west, yet it usually took between 1.5 and 2 hours each way.

Oh I know, It was pure luck. I had a bad connection coming home today, extended my commute by an extra 40 minutes…

Lucky you… of course if the had 36 just pulled away as you were getting off the 37 you could have easily added an hour to your trip time. I used to work in Doral and the 36 was never reliable. As for the 37 serving MIA, that’s one of the few things Transit does well with the number of routes serving the airport.
