Miami-Dade Transit extends service for Ultra Music Festival's 20th anniversary celebration

Miami-Dade Transit is offering an easy and fast way of getting to the 20th anniversary celebration of the Ultra Music Festival happening this weekend in Downtown Miami.

To encourage festival-goers to leave their cars behind and opt for a better mobility option to get to the Ultra Music Festival, Miami-Dade Transit is extending Metrorail and Metromover hours, starting service from 5 a.m. until 2 a.m. the following morning on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, March 23-25, 2018.

Event goers can take Metrorail ($2.25 for a one-way trip) to the Government Center Station. From there, transfer to Metromover’s Inner Loop (free of charge) and get off at the College/Bayside, First Street or Bayfront Park Metromover station.

Parking at any Metrorail garage or surface lot is only $4.50 for the entire day. Parking garages will remain open until the following day.

For added convenience, transit riders now can pay for parking at Metrorail garages/surface lots via their mobile devices with PayByPhone. For more information, visit the PayByPhone page.

Event goers can plan their trip on transit, or track their ride in real-time, by downloading the free Miami-Dade Transit Tracker app.

The new EASY Pay Miami app, also from Miami-Dade Transit, allows a transit rider to turn his/her smartphone into a mobile ticket. On the EASY Pay app, event goers can buy a 1-Day Pass ($5.65) with EASY Pay and head to the music festival seamlessly. EASY Cards are still accepted at the Metrorail fare gates for riders’ convenience.

METROBUS DETOURS:
The following Metrobus routes will be detoured starting at 9 p.m. on Thursday, March 22, until 6 a.m. on Monday, March 26: 3, 9, 93, 120 Beach MAX and S.
