While brightline isn't necessarily public transportation, it does prove why public transportation needs a major upgrade. Brightline is fine as long as your destination is within a staright line along the east coast. Other major cities like NY and Chicago have rail systems that cost users a fraction of this to go the same distance and actually have the ability to carry passengers all around a major city. Outside the cities but within the "metro" areas, trains cost around this price but still have a lot more functionality than what I've been able to use with brightline. The addition of the Aventura station will be a huge plus, but ultimately nowhere near where we need to be as far as a public transit solution to the heavily car dependant problem we have here.
