On both Saturday, June 9 and Sunday, June 10, MDT will be making improvements to the rail track. There will be 2 types of shuttle buses at both Historic Overtown/Lyric Theatre station and Culmer station: One bus will be clearly marked “Marlins Shuttle” and will take patrons directly to the ballpark. The other bus will be for those who wish to continue traveling along the Metrorail’s path. We advise all patrons to read the various signs that will be posted at both stations, as they will help direct them to their destination.
