I believe MDX governance and procedures need to be thoroughly investigated and communicated to the public - right now they seem to be a government agency in the shadows - no one really knows how they do business.

It's time we task MDX to take on real transit and not a bunch of lip service like they have been giving with talk of taking over the MIC. Suarez does make some valid points especially where he mentions their cost for maintenance. Its over blown.

As long as we have a County Mayor who is committed to delivering services on the cheap, and a commission who refuses to set taxes at the rates necessary to properly subsidize public transportation, there will be no progress.

Miami has grown into a major metropolitan are yet the public transportation system and its reach is a joke and a mockery.
