Miami-Dade transit ending some coronavirus cutbacks ahead of businesses reopening
Some emergency cutbacks in Miami-Dade transit services are ending Monday as the county lifts closure orders on most businesses.
Scheduled wait times for Metrorail trains will drop from 15 minutes to 10 minutes, and from 7 minutes to 5 minutes for Metromover trains. Nearly three dozen bus routes also will be restored to the schedules in place before the coroanvirus emergency. The changes go into effect Monday, when Mayor Carlos Gimenez is lifting emergency closure orders on most businesses, including restaurant dining rooms.
Fares remain suspended, reduced hours remain for Metrorail and Metromover, and Miami-Dade won’t end the practice of replacing overnight bus routes with vouchers for Uber and Lyft. Passengers must wear masks while riding transit.
