New Tamiami Station open for service

Starting on Monday, Nov. 28, the facility will provide service for the new 837 Express Bus route which will run from the station to Downtown Miami via the SR 836/Dolphin Expressway.

The station is located at 14710 SW 8th Street, Miami FL 33184.

The 837 Express buses will travel on the designated bus-only lanes to by-pass traffic congestion on the Dolphin Expressway during peak service hours Monday through Friday, providing a more efficient, low-stress alternative to driving and improving mobility and convenience.

The Tamiami Station Park and Ride/Bus Terminal project is a segment of Phase 1 of the East-West Corridor, one of the rapid transit corridors of the Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit (SMART) Program. 

Once fully functional, the Tamiami Station will offer many amenities including:

  • Free Wi-Fi
  • Ticket Vending Machines (TVMs)
  • Seven bus bays
  • Bus layover areas
  • Bus driver lounge
  • 458 parking spaces

  • Carpool/vanpool, motorcycle/scooter, and secured bicycle storage
  • CCTV security system including 50 cameras
  • Digital screens with bus route information (available in the first quarter of 2023)
The Station won the Envision® Silver Award from the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI), marking the first time Miami-Dade County is honored by the ISI for the County’s work in sustainable performance and resiliency of infrastructure.
