Metromover

Metromover is a free to ride automated people mover system operated by Miami-Dade Transit in Miami, Florida, United States.

Metromover serves the Downtown Miami, Brickell, Park West and Arts & Entertainment District neighborhoods.

The Metromover serves primarily as an alternative way to travel within the greater Downtown Miami neighborhoods.

The stations are located approximately two blocks away from each other, and connect near all major buildings and places in the Downtown area.

[4] In 1987, the then-one-year-old people mover system set a record in daily ridership of 33,053 on a Saturday, attributed to the new Bayside Marketplace.

[5] That same year was when the planning began to extend the system to Brickell and Arts & Entertainment District (then Omni),[6] which would not be completed until 1994.

There are 21 accessible Metromover stations located throughout Downtown Miami and Brickell roughly every two blocks.

The Metromover car maintenance base, unusual for a maintenance yard, is a building located downtown, at SW 1st Ave and SW 1st St, which lies between Government Center and 3rd St stations on the outer counterclockwise loop, at the point where the two loops split to run in adjacent parallel streets.

This table includes Metrorail ridership as the two systems were built together and are mutually reliant on the thousands of daily transfers at Government Center and Brickell stations.

This, with Metrorail and the new MIA Mover would create a direct rail transit link from the airport to the seaport.

[24][25] Miami-Dade originally planned to have a monorail along the southern edge of MacArthur Causeway from Downtown Miami to South Beach.

[26] However, in November 2022, the original plan would be changed to Metromover because the budget did not allow for the proposed monorail and it would not provide a one-seat ride from Downtown Miami to South Beach.
