Freebee Park & Ride Shuttles to Metrorail Start Thursday, September 19th
All aboard! The Freebee Park & Ride Shuttle system begins Thursday Morning, September 19th. Unlike our regular Freebee system, you don't have to summon these vehicles via the app. Simply park at Palmetto Bay Park and board one of two Freebee Shuttle vans to the Dadeland South Metrorail Station. The vans will return to the park in the afternoon/evening (see departure and return schedules below). This is a M-F service, and is in addition to our existing IBUS shuttles from Holy Rosary-St. Richard's Catholic Church. Did we mention, they're both FREE?

Please join us for a ribbon cutting at 10 am on the 19th at Palmetto Bay Park to celebrate this collaborative service!
