Metrorail

Metromover

The initial 21-mile (34 km) Metrorail line opened in three segments.^[4] Service began on May 20, 1984, with the opening of the first 11-mile (18 km) segment, featuring 10 stations from Dadeland South station in Kendall to Historic Overtown/Lyric Theatre station in the Overtown neighborhood of Miami.^[5][6] On December 17, 1984, the second segment opened, expanding service to the northwest with the opening of five stations through Earlington Heights station.^[7] The third segment opened on May 19, 1985, providing service past Earlington Heights station, with an additional five stations opened through Okeechobee station in Hialeah.^[8]

Since the opening of the initial line, one infill station and two extensions have been added to the Metrorail. Tri-Rail station was opened in 1989, providing a connection to the Tri-Rail commuter rail service. The line was extended 1.4 miles (2.3 km) in 2003, with a new northern terminus at Palmetto station in Hialeah.^[9] The 2.4-mile (3.9 km) AirportLink branch and Miami International Airport (MIA) station opened in 2012, and became the second station to connect with Tri-Rail. The branch split the Metrorail system into two lines: the existing service from Palmetto to Dadeland South was designated as the Green Line, and the new service from MIA to Dadeland South was designated as the Orange Line.^[10]

Metromover service began on April 17, 1986, with the opening of the initial 1.9-mile (3.1 km) loop through the Miami Central Business District.^[3][11] On May 26, 1994, service expanded with the opening of the 1.4-mile (2.3 km) Omni Loop and 1.1-mile (1.8 km) Brickell Loop branches into the Arts & Entertainment District and Brickell districts, respectively.^[3][12] Bicentennial Park station on the Omni Loop closed in 1996 due to low ridership; it was renovated and reopened in 2013 as Museum Park station.^[13][14] MiamiCentral station opened in 2018, serving Brightline inter-city rail service;^[15] the station connects with Metrorail and Metromover via Historic Overtown/Lyric Theatre station and Wilkie D. Ferguson Jr. station, respectively.^[2][3]
