Ready to ring in the New Year, revelers in Miami can count on extended transit services this December 31. The Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) is rolling out extended hours for the Metrorail and Metromover to accommodate those celebrating the arrival of 2026. According to the county's announcement, both Green and Orange Line trains will run every 30 minutes until 2 a.m. on January 1.
For the more practical travelers, regular weekday schedules will hold for Metrobus and MetroConnect on New Year's Eve, making the transition into the new year as seamless as any other day. On New Year's Day, however, the Metrorail and Metromover will follow the regular weekend schedule, and Metrobus, and MetroConnect are expected to operate on a Sunday schedule. Amidst the festivities, it's critical for attendees to note that the last trains from Government Center Station will leave at around 2:00 a.m., and post-celebration, no station entries will be allowed after this time - only exits.
For those who opt to drive to a Metrorail station, parking facilities will stay open until 3 a.m. on January 1. DTPW's administrative, Customer Service, and Special Transportation (STS) offices will be closed on the holiday, yet the Special Transportation Services will run uninterrupted, maintaining its regular service.
For STS users, services remain just a call away at (305) 871-1111, giving customers the ability to reserve or cancel trips effortlessly. In the age of technology, the department also reminds transit riders that they can purchase or reload an EASY Card online or through various transit apps, including the GO Miami-Dade Transit app, and the like. Additionally, for Golden Passport EASY Card applications or to report lost items, customers can visit the DTPW website. As part of the department's effort to keep the public in the loop, they encourage Miami residents to sign up for transit alerts or follow DTPW on their social channels, including Facebook, X, and Instagram, or join Mobility 305 for monthly updates, as detailed by the county's official website.
