Miami Transit Adds Service for Corporate Run

Miami-Dade Transit adds Metromover service for Corporate Run amid 10-hour road closures

Miami Metrorail Adds Service for Corporate Run

Downtown Miami's Lexus Corporate Run on Thursday, April 23, will bring thousands of runners and road closures from 1 p.m. to 11 p.m., prompting Miami-Dade Transit officials to encourage riders to use public transportation. Metrorail will operate regular service from 5 a.m. to midnight, with fares at $2.25 per ride, while Metromover will run enhanced service on all three loops. Officials said riders should expect heavy volumes before and after the race and allow extra travel time.

Transit Options Provide Alternative to Road Closures

The event-related road closures will affect Downtown and Brickell areas for 10 hours, making public transit the most reliable option for attendees and commuters. Transit officials said Metrorail riders should exit at Government Center Station and transfer to the free Metromover for direct access to the race area. The Metromover's three loops—Inner, Omni, and Brickell—will provide connections throughout downtown, with enhanced frequency during peak hours. Several Metrobus routes will experience detours and delays due to the closures, though specific route numbers affected weren't detailed in the transit advisory.

Enhanced Metromover Service Targets Race Crowds

Metromover will operate enhanced service from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Thursday, with all three loops running to accommodate race participants and spectators. Transit officials recommended three stations for event access: First Street, College/Bayside, and Bayfront Park stations, all within walking distance of the race route. The automated people mover remains free to ride, providing a cost-effective option for attendees. Officials didn't specify exact train frequencies for the enhanced service but said the system would run more trains than typical weekday schedules to handle expected crowds.

Road Closures Begin Thursday Afternoon

The road closures will begin at 1 p.m. Thursday and last until approximately 11 p.m., affecting traffic patterns throughout downtown Miami. Transit officials said riders should plan trips in advance and allow extra travel time due to expected heavy ridership volumes before and after the race. The GO Miami-Dade Transit app provides real-time tracking and trip planning for all services. Officials said transit passes can be purchased in advance, though riders weren't given a specific timeframe for when normal service patterns would fully resume after the closures end.

Riders Advised to Plan Ahead for Event

Passengers should expect crowded conditions on Metrorail and Metromover before the race starts and after it concludes, transit officials said. Metrobus riders in Downtown and Brickell areas should anticipate detours and delays throughout the afternoon and evening. Officials recommended allowing extra travel time and checking service status before heading to stations.
