Miami Lakes Mover Service now equipped with state-of-the-art buses

Featured Wednesday, December 18, 2013

 

Miami Lakes continues to embody its motto “Growing Beautifully.” Nurturing its commitment to green living and maintaining the highest quality of life for its residents, the Town has been diligently working to alleviate congestion on its busiest roadways. 

Through grant funding, Miami Lakes was able to purchase two new buses that will operate as part of the town’s existing transit network known as the Miami Lakes Mover Service. 

The buses will provide free transportation to destinations in and around town converging at Main Street where the east and west routes will connect. The service also allows passengers to connect with other transit networks including MetroBus and MetroRail. 

Miami Lakes Mover Service will run Monday through Friday during peak morning hours (6 to 10 a.m.), and peak evening hours (2:15 to 7 p.m.), circulating every 35 to 40 minutes. 

“The goal of these new state-of-the-art buses is to increase ridership which will ultimately assist in alleviating traffic congestion,” said Vice Mayor Manny Cid. “More folks riding our Town Movers means less vehicles on the road. After N.W. 87 Avenue is paved in the upcoming weeks, we’ll have an integrated route connecting the entire city.”
