Metromover

Miami-Dade Transit operates the Metrorail rapid transit system and the Metromover people mover system in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States. The network consists of two Metrorail lines (Green Line and Orange Line) and three Metromover lines (Brickell Loop, Inner Loop, and Omni Loop). In January 2015, the entire system served 109,100 passengers per weekday, with 76,300 passengers riding the Metrorail and 32,800 riding the Metromover.[1] Miami-Dade Transit operates 42 metro stations, with 23 in the Metrorail system and 21 in the Metromover system; Brickell and Government Center stations serve both systems, allowing for transfers between all Metrorail and Metromover lines.[2][3]

Metrorail service began on May 20, 1984, with the opening of the 11-mile (18 km) southern segment between the Dadeland South station in Kendall and the Historic Overtown/Lyric Theatre station in the Overtown neighborhood of Miami.[4][5] On December 17, 1984, the line was expanded 4 miles (6.4 km) to the northwest with the opening of an additional five stations through Earlington Heights.[6] The initial 20-station Metrorail line opened for full service on May 19, 1985, following the completion of the final five stations through its terminus at Okeechobee in Hialeah.[7]

Since its initial year of service, the Metrorail system has had three major expansions, beginning with the opening of the infill Tri-Rail station in 1989, connecting Metrorail with the Tri-Rail commuter train. The line was extended 1.4 miles (2.3 km) in 2003, with a new northern terminus at Palmetto station in Hialeah.[8] The 2.4-mile (3.9 km) AirportLink branch and Miami International Airport (MIA) station in opened in 2012, which split the Metrorail system into two lines; the existing service from Palmetto to Dadeland South was designated as the Green Line, and the new service from MIA to Dadeland South was designated as the Orange Line.[9]

Metromover service began on April 17, 1986, with the opening of the initial 1.9-mile (3.1 km) loop through Downtown Miami.[3][10] On May 26, 1994, service expanded with the opening of the 1.4-mile (2.3 km) Omni Loop and 1.1-mile (1.8 km) Brickell Loop branches.[3][11] Bicentennial Park station on the Omni Loop closed in 1996 due to low ridership;[12] it was renovated and reopened in 2013 as Museum Park station.[13]
