Greater Miami Expands Route 95 Access With New Stops
Route 95 Limited gains stops at Miami Ave and Hispanola Ave, operational since October 27
Miami-Dade Transit Adds 2 Stops on Route 95
Miami-Dade Transit added two stops on Route 95 Limited at Miami Ave and Hispanola Ave, transit officials said. The stops began serving riders October 27, expanding access along the limited-stop corridor. Officials didn't provide details about whether the additions came from community requests or ridership studies.
Background
The stop additions are part of ongoing service improvements throughout Miami-Dade County's transit network, according to the transit agency. Miami-Dade Transit operates more than 95 bus routes serving approximately 80 million trips annually. Officials didn't specify whether ridership data or community feedback drove the decision to add these particular stops. Transit agencies typically adjust stop locations based on demand patterns, accessibility needs, and service optimization studies.
Service Details
The two new stops serve Route 95 Limited, which provides faster service by stopping less frequently than local routes. Officials announced the change November 5, though the stops were already in service by that date. The transit agency didn't release cost estimates for installing the new stops or projected ridership figures. Route 95 Limited now offers additional boarding points for passengers traveling through the Miami Ave and Hispanola Ave corridor.
Implementation
The stops became operational October 27, officials said. The transit agency published its official service change notice November 5, after the stops were already serving riders. Officials didn't explain the timing between implementation and announcement. Transit agencies typically notify riders several weeks before service changes, though that didn't happen in this case.
Rider Impact
Regular Route 95 Limited riders now have two additional boarding and alighting points along the corridor. The new stops may affect travel times for through passengers, though officials didn't provide estimates.
