The light rail between Ft. Lauderdale and Miami (really between West Palm beach to Miami) runs alongside I-95 (the Tri-Rail, named so because of the tri-county area) and that&#x27;s it for light rail in South Florida.  So unless your work is near a Tri-Rail station, or you&#x27;re willing to transfer to a bus, working just about anywhere doesn&#x27;t make it work while for most people.<p>Now, it just so happens that there&#x27;s a Tri-Rail station <i>right next</i> to the building I work in, and I happen to live less than a mile from a Tri-Rail station. When when I ran the numbers a few years ago, it was still cheaper to drive than to ride the train (mainly because I work from home two days a week).  It&#x27;s not a time factor either---I drive during non-rush hour (a perk of being a programmer) and either way, it takes about the same time to drive as to take the train (I have taken the trip once or twice).<p>Now that gas prices have plummeted, even if I had to drive into the office five days a week, it would still be cheaper.<p>That said, there are people in the office that take the train, but they live further from the office than I do and for them, it is cost effective, even if they arrive late to the office about 10% of the time (mostly due to suicides and people stopping on the rails).
