I need to go to the Overtown Transit Village to pickup my monthly parking pass. This is the only place where I can pickup the monthly parking pass for the EDPRegional Monthly Pass. However the office hours are 8:00am to 5:00pm. I got there at 7:10am. So I went back upstairs and caught an Orange Train to MIA. I arrived at MIA at 7:25, hopped on the TriRail train which left at 7:40 arrived at Dania at 8:20. The EDP Regional Monthly Pass and the MetroDade Parking pass looks to be an issue for the two mass transit systems.
The train out of MIA was empty so I was to get up front and snap this shot of the single train tracks and the historic train bridge that forces the TriRail trains to move slowly on this section of track.
A colleague at work was telling me about HopStop a service for planning mass transit travel, he used this in NYC. Hoptstop gave me these funny results when I used it to check on a plan to get from work to home. It appears that HopStop knows about Tri-Rail but not MetroRail, so it puts me on a train to MIA and then walking home. :-)
Mopnthly Parking Pass Update - On the way home I stopped at the Overtown Transit Village and picked up my monthly parking pass for $11.25. There is some doubt whether I can buy my monthly parking pass for the regional EDP monly pass at Dadeland South. I may need to stop at Overtown Transit Village monthly. This appears to be a pretty large hole in the Broward/Dade Regional EasyCard process.
I will find out more next month when I get my WageWorks debit card funding to replenish my regional card and figure out if I can get the monthly parking in the same transaction or need to go to the Overtown station to obtain. They certainly are not making it EASY!
