Metromover

The Metromover is a people moving train system that is operated by the Miami-Dade Transit system. It serves the public in Brickkell and Downtown Miami and it connected with the Metrorail system at the Government Center and the Brickell Stations. It started operation in 1986 and the extensions of the Omni and Brickell stations opened in 1994. There are 21 stations throughout Brickell and Downtown Miami. They are located about every two blocks, making the system an extremely easy way to move through the area. The system links residential and office buildings, retail centers and hotels. Attractions on the line include the Historical Museum of Southern Florida, the American Airlines Arena, the Arsht Performing Arts Center, the Bayside Marketplace, the Miami Main Library, the Cultural Plaza, Miami-Dade College and the Brickell Financial District. The Metromover has both south and north loop tracks, all of which run from 5 am until midnight, every day of the week. There are additional trains during special events and rush hour. Trains arrive at the stations every three minutes, except during events and rush hour when they arrive in half the time. Miami's system is one of five automated urban people mover systems in the country including Jacksonville, Irving, Texas, Detroit and Morgantown, West Virginia.
