    Miami - New metro mover between airport and transport hub to open 9th September

    The next stage of improvements at the Miami Rental Car Centre (currently connecting to and from the airport by shuttle bus) will be replaced by the electric-powered MIA Mover, which can transport 3,000 passengers per hour from 9th September.

    I used the MIA Mover yesterday and was impressed - the big plus is the fact that you don't have to fight your way onto the shuttle buses with people who seem to take just about everything they own on their trips. I'm expecting it to be even more of an improvement on my return journey.

    (Same horrendous Immigration & Customs experience at Miami International though!)

    We were quicker through MIA than previously atMCO or even getting through LHR when we got home.

    You can be lucky but I fly through there around 12 times every year and never get used to the incompetence.

    Yesterday, they decided that Customs officers would ask EVERY passenger coming through from international flights after collecting their bags how much cash they were carrying and whether they had any food or tobacco in their luggage. I reckon there were around 1,000 passengers in the baggage collection area and just 3 customs exits with 1 officer on each. I'm sure you can imagine how long the queue was just to get land-side.

    Although the Immigration process went unusually smoothly, I queued for over an hour AFTER I had collected my bags to get outside and to the train. As far as I could tell, they didn't actually apprehend anybody.
