Train sights in North America

  1. Metromover

    This elevated, electric monorail is hardly big enough to serve the mass-transit needs of the city, and has become something of a tourist attraction. Whatever its virtues as a commuting tool, the Metromover is a really great (and free!) way to see central Miami from a height (which helps, given the skyscraper-canyon nature of Downtown). Because it's gratis, Metromover has a reputation as a hangout for the homeless, but at the time of research a fair few folks were using it to commute as well, a number the media reported was climbing due to the price of gas.
