Miami Metrorail Boosts Service for Inter Miami Games
Miami-Dade Transit increases Metrorail frequency to 15 minutes on Inter Miami game days
Miami Metrorail Adds Service for Inter Miami Games
Miami soccer fans heading to Inter Miami CF matches at the new Nu Stadium at Miami Freedom Park can skip traffic and take Metrorail, transit officials said. Miami-Dade Transit will boost train frequency on game days starting with the team's inaugural match at the venue Saturday, April 4. The Miami Intermodal Center at Miami International Airport sits just a 10-minute walk from the stadium, making it the most convenient station for fans.
Context
The service enhancements mark Miami-Dade Transit's effort to provide reliable public transportation access to the new soccer-specific stadium. Nu Stadium at Miami Freedom Park becomes the permanent home for Inter Miami CF, replacing the team's previous venue. Transit agencies typically increase service frequency for major sporting events to accommodate higher ridership volumes and reduce crowding. Inter Miami ambassadors will be stationed along the designated walking route from the Intermodal Center to guide fans to the stadium entrance.
Service Details
On game days, the Orange Line will run every 15 minutes throughout the day, officials said. After 5 p.m., Green Line service will also increase to 15-minute intervals between Palmetto and Earlington Heights stations. Eight Metrobus routes serve the Miami International Airport station, including routes 7, 20, 36, 37, 42, 57, 150, and 338, providing connections from across Miami-Dade County. ADA shuttle service will operate from the Miami Trolley Stop at the Intermodal Center directly to Nu Stadium on game days for riders with accessibility needs.
Timeline
The enhanced Metrorail service takes effect Saturday, April 4, for Inter Miami's first match at Nu Stadium. Officials didn't specify whether the increased frequency will apply to all home games throughout the season or only select matches. Transit agencies typically announce game-day service schedules several days before each event, though Miami-Dade Transit hasn't said how far in advance it'll confirm service levels for future games.
Rider Information
Fans can pay the standard $2.25 fare per ride using EASY Cards, contactless payments, or ticket vending machines at stations. Day passes cost $5.65, while weekly passes run $29.25. Special Transit Services offers door-to-door paratransit for registered riders with special needs at $3.50 per trip. Moovit provides real-time Metrorail arrival information and trip planning for Miami-Dade Transit routes, helping fans time their trips to and from Inter Miami matches.
