Although
19 Metrobus routes serve Greater Miami and the
beaches every day, it’s not easy to figure out the
system if you’re just visiting for a short time.
Bus
stops are marked with green and blue signs with a
bus logo and route information. Most of the lines
start in downtown Miami and run between 4:30am and
2:30am during the week. The frequency of service
varies from route to route, especially on the
weekend. It’s best to call Metrobus at (305)
770-3131 ahead of time for specific schedules.
The
buses will take you to the Miami
Seaquarium, the
Orange Bowl Stadium, the Cultural Center, the Metrozoo, and most other popular attractions. The
one-way fare is $1.25; students and seniors over 65
pay 60 cents. When boarding, you pay exact fare.
The fare box accepts tokens, dollar bills, quarters,
dimes, and nickels.
To
ride more than one bus or to take the rail to get to
your destination, you need to buy a transfer ticket
for 25 cents (10 cents for students and seniors)
when you first board. Deposit the fare and transfer
fee and ask the bus operator for a transfer. When
you get on the second bus, give the transfer to the
driver. If you purchase a bus-to-rail transfer,
insert the transfer into the slot at the front of
the rail fare gate.
