Metrorail and Metromover hours extended during the 2024 Ultra Music Festival

Miami-Dade Transit will offer extended services to make it easier and more convenient for attendees to reach Bayfront Park for the 2024 Ultra Music Festival in downtown Miami. Festivalgoers are encouraged to leave their cars behind and ride with Miami-Dade Transit.

Metrorail and Metromover service will start at 5 a.m. and run through 2 a.m. the following morning on Friday, March 22 and Saturday, March 23.  On Sunday, March 24, service will end at midnight. Green and Orange Line trains will run every 30 minutes for a combined frequency of 15 minutes between Earlington Heights and Dadeland South Stations. 

Those coming in from out of town can take the Orange Line from the Miami International Airport Metrorail station directly to Government Center Metrorail station.

Attendees can take Metrorail ($2.25 for a one-way trip or $5.65 for a One-Day Pass) to the Government Center station. From there, transfer to Metromover’s Inner Loop (free of charge) and disembark at the College/Bayside, First Street or Bayfront Park Metromover station.

Through our enhanced integration with the Token Transit App, Ultra Music Festival eventgoers can now purchase a One-Trip, One-Day, and Seven-Day Pass through various platforms, in the Token Transit App and Transit App, Google Wallet/Maps (Android only), and Moovit.

Download the GO Miami-Dade Transit app to plan your trip or track your ride in real-time, or pay for your fare ahead of time and purchase a One-Day Mobile Pass ($5.65) or a One-Way Mobile Pass ($2.25 – pass will activate upon purchase) and scan at any fare gate equipped with a QR scanner.
