Transit Service Extended for Ultra Music Festival 2014
Metrorail and Metromover trains will run until approximately 1 a.m. on event nights
(MIAMI, March 21, 2014) - Miami-Dade Transit will extend its Metrorail and Metromover service to accommodate the large crowds expected to attend the 2014 Ultra Music Festival in Bayfront Park in downtown Miami. The Ultra Music Festival is taking place Friday, March 28th, Saturday, March 29th and Sunday, March 30, 2014.
Metrorail and Metromover service will be extended to 1 a.m. and Transit Supervisors will be available to assist passengers as needed. Please note that Metromover is free for all patrons.
To avoid long lines at the ticket vending machines at Metrorail stations, MDT is encouraging all Ultra Music Festival goers to purchase and load an EASY Card or EASY Ticket prior to the event. Metrorail and most Metrobuses charge $2.25 per trip ($4.50 round trip). Those who will be using public transit throughout the day are encouraged to purchase a 1-Day Pass for $5.65. This pass allows for unlimited travel on Metrobus and Metrorail until 2 a.m. the next morning.
Parking is available at most Metrorail stations at a cost of $4.50 per day.
Both EASY Cards and EASY Tickets are available at EASY Card ticket vending machines located at all Metrorail stations, at the Golden Glades Park & Ride lot and at more than 130 EASY Card sales outlets located throughout Miami-Dade County.
