News Release

The Village has launched a much-needed bus service that will increase the number of destinations that can be reached via public transit throughout Palmetto Bay and surrounding areas. It is also designed to connect with Miami-Dade Transit routes and the very popular busway.

Just in case you’re wondering, IBUS is a play on words to reflect the many beautiful ibis that frequent Village parks and neighborhoods. The blue and white buses feature an impressive drawing of this native bird.

"This circulator service furthers our efforts to provide the community with an effective mode of transportation,” said Councilmember Paul Neidhart. “Up until now, residents had to find their own way to the busway or one of the County’s other transit routes.” The Village hopes to spread the word about this user-friendly transportation service.

The IBUS is air-conditioned, wheelchair accessible and bike rack equipped. The bus service will also provide public transportation to parks located within the boundaries of the Village. There will even be a “shopper’s shuttle” to the Falls shopping center. There is no fare when using the IBUS. However, riders making connections to the Miami-Dade Transit line are expected to pay the appropriate fares at the time of transfer.

“We will continuously review the routes and expand or change them as necessary,” said Councilmember Neidhart.

The service operates as close to schedule as possible. Traffic conditions may cause the IBUS to arrive slightly early or late. As with any mode of transportation, please allow ample time for traveling.

This initiative is being paid for with money from the People’s Transportation Plan (PTP). As stated in a publication of the Citizens’ Independent Transportation Trust, “the plan was created because of public demand for greater mobility choices in Miami-Dade County. The citizens backed their demand at the ballot box by approving the transportation surtax to fund the projects in the PTP.”
