New route and schedule changes for Miami Dade buses will take effect starting this Sunday. Among the changes: 32 stops will have alterations to their current departure times and or pickup and drop off locations.
The new routes will also affect those who use the 95 express busses to reach downtown Miami via the Golden Glades stop in Broward.
The Biscayne Boulevard and Brickell legs will no longer be in service with altering pickup locations at the Jackson Hospital stops for the morning and evening hours
According to head of Miami-Dade transit, Alice Bravo, the adjustments are being made to make the routes more efficient, especially in already congested areas of the city.
“You’re talking about the Brickell area , Flagler street area, there’s a lot of construction there right now. Anywhere near the river, you have the bridges that go up and down,” said Bravo.
She says buses tend to get stuck along major corridors in downtown Miami, especially where the buses intersect with the Metromover and city of Miami Trolley.
