Miami-Dade Transit extends Golden Passport and Patriot Passport EASY Card processing hours


(Miami-Dade County, FL) -- 
Beginning Thursday, October 1, 2009, all Golden Passport and Patriot Passport users must have an EASY Card to continue riding free on transit in Miami-Dade County.

To ensure that all Golden Passport and Patriot Passport users have their EASY Card, Miami-Dade Transit is extending its Golden Passport and Patriot Passport processing hours at the Transit Service Center, located on the second level of the Government Center Metrorail station at 111 NW First St. in downtown Miami.

Between September 30th and October 2nd, the Golden Passport and Patriot Passport processing area at the Transit Service Center will be open from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; and on Saturday, October 3rd, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The EASY Card fare collection system will enhance customer convenience and reduce fare evasion by automatically deducting passenger fares from a reloadable smart card that stores data electronically.

For more information, Golden Passport and Patriot Passport users can call 311. For TDD Service, call 305-468-5402.
