Other than proximity to the yard, does MIA/Hialeah have any redeeming value?
What is the Miami customer base like? Do they all drive to the station? Or is a downtown location more useful? I ask because we're making a lot of assumptions without knowing what's truly useful.
For example, Amtrak goes right downtown in NYC and Chicago because folks walk and ride public transpo a lot. In other cities, folks drive in from the burbs so it's not as important to have a central location.
This might help our thoughts here.
