Getting around Miami with Metrobus

Designed to connect with Metrorail and Metromover, Miami-Dade County's Metrobus public bus system can take you to all major shopping, entertainment and cultural centers in Greater Miami & Miami Beach. Metrobus routes serve areas of the city the rail doesn't, including Miami Beach, Key Biscayne, Homestead or even as far as Fort Lauderdale or the Florida Keys.

Metrobus operates more than 95 routes with close to 1,000 buses covering 29 million miles per year, 365 days a year. Bus rides start at $2.25 per single trip. The easiest way to pay for a bus ride is with an EASY Ticket, which can purchased at select stations, or a rechargeable EASY Card, which can be purchased via the GO Miami-Dade Transit app for a contactless experience. Another benefit of opting for contactless payment is the daily fare cap of $5.65 no matter how many times you ride. Some bus routes operate 24 hours a day, but check individual route schedules for hours of operation and specific schedules just in case.

If you're staying in Miami Beach and are heading to Miami International Airport, Miami Beach Airport Express provides an inexpensive express connection to the airport from Miami Beach. When vacationing in Miami Beach, you'll also want to familiarize yourself with Route 120. This bus is the circulator route preferred by South Beach visitors and residents because it runs from Aventura Mall to the Downtown Miami Bus Terminal, where you'll have easy access to the Main Library, HistoryMiami Museum, Government Center Metrorail station, Miami Dade College Wolfson Campus and the Omni Bus Terminal.
