In an effort to improve service and reliability for Metrorail riders, the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) has returned Metrorail peak hour service to pre-pandemic levels.
Metrorail ridership has continued to increase steadily and in December 2022, the average daily ridership reached 86 percent of pre-pandemic levels. To continue to provide the best service possible for commuters, Metrorail’s combined frequency of Orange and Green Line trains will increase from every 7.5 minutes to every 5 minutes between Earlington Heights and Dadeland South stations during peak hours on weekdays.
The service adjustments being implemented are:
Weekdays
Peak service: Green and Orange Line trains will run every 10 minutes during peak hours for a combined frequency of every 5 minutes between Earlington Heights and Dadeland South stations.
Off-peak service: Green and Orange Line trains will run every 15 minutes during non-peak hours for a combined frequency of every 7.5 minutes between Earlington Heights and Dadeland South stations.
After 8 p.m., Green and Orange Line trains will depart together to provide service every 30 minutes. One track will be closed to safely perform track preventative maintenance and repair work.
Weekends
Orange Line trains will continue to provide only Airport Shuttle service between Earlington Heights and Miami International Airport stations with service every 15 minutes.
Passengers heading to and from Miami International Airport must transfer between lines at Earlington Heights Station.
Green Line trains will run every 30 minutes.
Riders can pay directly at all Metrorail fare gates and Metrobus fare boxes using their contactless-enabled bank cards or digital wallets. Accepted digital wallets include Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and Fitbit Pay. If using a contactless card or digital wallet, the fare will cap at $5.65 for unlimited rides per day, including transfers, on Metrorail and Metrobus.
Additionally, Miami-Dade Transit riders can purchase a mobile pass via our GO Miami-Dade Transit app. One-Way Mobile Passes will be automatically activated upon purchase.
Metrorail fare is $2.25 per trip. EASY Cards or Tickets are available for purchase at all Metrorail stations via the ticket vending machines using cash or credit cards. Riders also can buy an EASY Card and pre-load it online at the Transit Store.
