MetroConnect - our improved and expanded, free, on-demand, shared ride service - will augment our Better Bus system, providing support for some riders where needed for last mile connections.

The reimagining of Metrobus service is creating better connections and an improved rider experience across Miami-Dade County. The new bus network dramatically increases transit access to jobs, education, healthcare and quality of life and uplifts our most vulnerable, including seniors, with significantly better services.

The initial phase was deployed on July 24, and Phase II, including newly added connections to the MetroConnect (Formerly GO Connect) on-demand service, was deployed on Nov.13, 2023. 

Riders are encouraged to become familiar with the new Trip Planning Tool, system map, and other information on this page to better plan your commute on the new Metrobus service network.
