Event Details: County, state and local officials will provide comments on the new 95 Express Miramar bus service that starts on January 10 and will travel in the I-95 Express toll lanes between Broward and Miami-Dade counties, providing new service to the Civic Center business/hospital district, as well as downtown Miami. Funding for the new regional bus service was made possible by a grant from the Florida Department of Transportation.
The new 95 Express Miramar bus service will start at the Miramar Central Station, located at Miramar Town Center, Civic Center Place at Red Road, and travel along Red Road, the Florida Turnpike Extension, and then proceed on I-95 in the managed high occupancy toll (‘HOT’) lanes to downtown Miami. Stops will include the Civic Center business district, Miami-Dade Government Center and Miami Bus Terminal. The northbound buses departing from downtown Miami to Broward County will perform the reverse route.
The first three morning trips traveling from the downtown Miami Bus Terminal back to the Miramar Town Center will pick up passengers with no stops in-between, and the first three afternoon trips traveling from the Miramar Town Center back to Miami will pick up passengers with no stops in-between.
The service will operate every 30 minutes on weekdays only from 6 a.m. until 8:30 a.m. from the Miramar Town Center, and from 3:40 p.m. until 6:15 p.m. from Northwest 8 Street and Northwest 1 Avenue (Overtown Metrorail Station). Wi-Fi accessible, hybrid articulated buses will be used on the route.
