The Miami metrobus system operates over 900 buses, 95 routes and traverses over 32 million miles every year. A bus stop is marked by a sign and usually has the routes covering the particular stop. The buses will stop at the designated stops alone. The routes are indicated by using numbers and letters or a combination of both. Generally, a combination of number and letter like 22A indicates that the particular bus does not cover the entire route specified. You can use a Miami FL travel guide to understand specific bus routes that are of interest to you. It is important that you understand the routes, numbers and destinations which you would need to travel, before landing in Miami.

A metro pass or a token is the easier option to pay your bus fare. You can deposit the exact fare amount in the fare box which is accessible when you enter through the front door. Alternatively, you can give your transfer to the bus operator. When you are planning a transfer to Metro rail or another bus, an additional 50 cents need be paid and a transfer ticket obtained.
