Still no late evening trains out of Miami. If I want to go to Miami for an
evening concert or a sporting event, I must drive and continue to fight the
rush hour traffic doing so.

See, Noel, that's the problem. When I'm in the area for a Canes game, and I stay in either Broward or Palm Beach, I couldn't get back late at night because Tri-Rail's last train is just as the game is going on if its a Night game, during the day, its no problem at all. However, with the Canes looking at possibly going to Dolphins Stadium, that's going to be a big problem especially coming from the areas I mentioned. Tri-Rail has to really do something about that and soon.

New timetables finally took effect Monday, June 4, 2007. Picked one up
on Tuesday and found the effective date printed was April 30, 2007 but it
was postponed to Monday, June 4, 2007.
The last northbound train on weekdays from Miami Airport is 9:20 PM
which is still too early in my opinion.
Timetable shows 25 round trips Monday through Friday and 8 round trips
on both Saturday and Sunday.
It is a cross between the large booklet and the small pocket timetable,
large size but only one page. It is pretty easy to read.
