Metrorail and Metromover hours extended during 2022 Ultra Music Festival

MIAMI ( March 23, 2022 )

Miami-Dade Transit has you covered during the 2022 Ultra Music Festival happening this weekend at Bayfront Park in Downtown Miami.

To avoid increased congestion on the roadways, the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) is offering extended Metrorail and Metromover service until 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday during the festival.

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 and Saturday, March 25 - 26, 2022. On Sunday, March 27, service will end at midnight.

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 Omni Loop (free of charge) and get off at the College/Bayside, First Street or Bayfront Park Metromover station or take the Metrorail to Government Center Station, from there, transfer to Metromover's Inner Loop and disembark at Bayfront Park Metromover Station.  

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. Our Metrorail faregates also accept contactless-payment methods, such as contactless-enabled debit and credit cards and mobile wallets.

Riders can also pay for their fare at any Ticket Vending Machine (TVMs) located at all our Metrorail stations and at select Sales Outlets. Preloaded (pass product or stored value) EASY Cards and EASY Tickets are also accepted at the Metrorail faregates. Riders no longer need to “tap out” when exiting the station.

PARKING

Parking at any Metrorail garage or surface lot is only $4.50 for the entire day. Parking garages will remain open until the following day. Transit riders can pay for parking at Metrorail garages/surface lots at the Ticket Vending Machines or via their mobile devices with the PayByPhone app.

METROBUS DETOURS

The following Metrobus routes 3, 9, 93, 120 Beach MAX, and S will be detoured starting at 9 p.m. on Thursday, March 24, until 6 a.m. on Monday, March 28. All buses that service the Omni, downtown Miami, and adjacent areas may experience delays. Please plan accordingly.

HEALTH CHECK

Per federal mandate, face masks remain a requirement for any transit rider, both inside of Miami-Dade Transit vehicles and at Miami-Dade Transit facilities (including on the platforms). Violators will be denied boarding and will be removed from the transit system.

DTPW will continue to follow the latest COVID-19 guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Florida Department of Health (FDOH), and Miami-Dade County.
