We love our city. We do. For that reason, it breaks out hearts to admit when something is not as great as it should. And this is the case, in our opinion (based on years of experience) with Miami Dade’s public transportation system.<\/p>\n

Now, don’t be scared. Just read below our list of \u00abobservations\u00bb and be prepared.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0Air conditioning: it works great in most buses. However, once in a while you’ll get on a bus full of people and a broken AC on a\u00a0 81\u00baF (27\u00baC) day.<\/li>\n
  2. Frequency: all bus routes follow a schedule (available here<\/a>) and they typically run every 15 to 20 minutes (except late at night and on weekends) Yet, be prepared to be left waiting. Let’s just say that sometimes we just don’t know what happened…<\/li>\n
  3. Friendliness of the drivers: most are very nice. In fact, some of Miami’s bus drivers have touched our lives. You get to see them every day on your way to work and their attitude and service makes a difference. On the other hand, there are more than a few rude drivers behind the wheel. Hope you don’t get to meet them.<\/li>\n
  4. Bus stops: Miami is sunny and hot. That’s lovely. Also, from June to September it rains often (don’t be scared, it’s just a little rain every day). Many of the bus stops don’t have a shelter. Just picture yourself there, waiting under the intense Miami sun… or under the rain. No roof, no shade. Not good.<\/li>\n
  5. Transfers: the way the transportation system is designed, be prepared to have to take at least two buses to get to your destination. Request a transfer when you get on the first bus. They are free and valid for the next three hours to get on any buses going the same direction (in other words, you can’t use a transfer to get back to where you came from) More instructions here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
