Miami Dade Transit (Florida's Largest Transit Operator)

[Glennwood Road Ent.]

New Thread here 

Well I did a search and there was no general discussion for Miami-Dade Transit, so I figured I'd start one.

Anyway to start this off, apparently  The South Dade BRT Corridor will be opened to the public this summer coming in July 2025.

And the new 4th bus division in Homestead for 100 EV Artics will be completed next year in 2026.

And almost 2 years ago circa April 2023 the day after Some parts of South Florida got flooded from the storms, here's my 2 photos of Miami-Dade Transit Metromover 57 wrapped in Heineken Livery leaving 1st Station on Biscayne Blvd in Downtown Miami on APRIL 14th during my 2 day business trip.  At the time of two photos were taken, only one unit was refurbished; unsure if the rest of the 26 2008-14 Bombardier Innovia APM 100 fleet were refurbished sometime this year.

Some of the XE60s are being released when the new Transitway BRT Project comes into action. This’ll be later this year around or after the summer time. 

4-door units numbered in E23500s, E24500s and E25500s series. 

 

At the time of this writing as of May 2025, 10 2005-06 Nabis Gen 1 diesel and 2 2010 Nabis HEVs Gen 2 left in revenue service; the other majority of the units were retired and scrapped in Opa-Locka by EG Truck Parts. 

BTW, CPTDB Wiki is an unreliable source of fleet information.
