how on earth are those cars moving if there are no human operators riding to control and direct them?

[musicfreakcc]

@maniac989 They're controlled by a central computer.

The stations are too damn close. Jesus, it's like a bus on rails..it's slower than a bus actually.

Anotherthing to not that onlike other peoplemovers of its kind, there are no platform screen doors at the Metromover stations, allowing for the possibility of someone getting hit by a train or falling onto the tracks if not careful. Since there is no driver onboard to sound the horn if someone is in the way, what happens if someone got too close to the tracks when the metromover train is arriving?

[SERVExLV]

wow miami has a better skyline than i thought, im goin there after shangai, dubai and nyc.

@g4tech Yes! I've been on a train where it hit a section of track where the control signal was missing, causing a shutdown. A tech came onboard and opened up the console to drive it on to the next station.

@Ham549 That's Metrorail.
