(MIAMI, Dec. 21, 2012) – Miami-Dade Transit wishes all its customers a healthy and happy holiday season as it announces its holiday schedule for Metrobus, Metrorail and Metromover.

 Monday, Dec. 24, 2012:

  • Metrobus, Metrorail and Metromover will operate on a regular weekday schedule.
  • Several Metrobus routes that provide only weekday rush-hour service will begin service earlier on Dec. 24, 2012, starting at noon, from the following locations: 
    • Route 34: From the Dadeland South Metrorail station
    • Routes 204, 272, and 288: From the Dadeland North Metrorail station
    • Route 95 Express: From downtown Miami, Civic Center, Brickell and NE 36 St. and Biscayne Blvd.
    • Route 95 Dade-Broward Express: From the first stop at NW 8 St. and 1 Ct. at 12:20 p.m. and 12:40 p.m.

Because these routes will be providing service earlier, which is not part of the regular scheduled service, supervisors will be on site at the locations above to assist customers with information on departing times for the bus routes.
