Miami-Dade Transit (MDT) is the primary public transit authority of Miami and the greater Miami-Dade County area. MDT operates the rapid transit Metrorail, the Downtown Metromover people mover, Metrobus, and Paratransit (STS) systems. Metrorail is composed of two rail lines (Green and Orange lines) with 23 stations radiating from the city center towards outlying neighborhoods north and south of Downtown. Metromover operates throughout the Downtown, Omni, and Brickell neighborhoods, and is composed of three rail loops and 22 stations. Metrobus operates over 93 routes, including the South Dade Transitway. MDT’s main transit stations are Government Center in Downtown, and the Miami Intermodal Center in Grapeland Heights, which can access the Miami International Airport. Pets/animals in a properly enclosed container such as a cage, kennel, or other pet carrier like a bag or a backpack are allowed on MDT trains and busses. The pet/animal container must be kept out of the aisles and stairwells or steps while aboard Metrobus, Metrorail or Metromover. The pet/animal must not damage or cause a nuisance or inconvenience while using the linear park underneath the Metrorail guideway. Service animals are allowed as long as they do not pose a threat to the safety of others or cause disruption in transit service.
Taking a pet to the United States involves preparation and planning far in advance of your departure date. Health certificates may be required for entry into some states; you should check with officials in your state of destination prior to your travel date. Find info on bringing a pet into the U.S.
