The LED sign of a MetroLink bus in Miami was spotted praising Cuban authoritarian leaders Fidel and Raul Castro. Passengers and pedestrians were surprised to see the sign read "Viva Fidel y Raul," which translates to "long live Fidel and Raul." The bus was spotted passing through the intersection of 8th Street NW and 49th Avenue.

MetroLink is a new mobility free service in Miami Dade County that uses small vehicles to improve accessibility and connects residents from areas with limited transportation services to key destinations such as the Miami International Airport, Tri-Rail, and Miami Beach.
