City Transport: The
Metro-Dade Transit provides several ways of transportation
depending upon where you want to go. There are several
bus routes (via Metro-bus) that have a stop at the University
and connect with the Metro-rail and Tri-rail systems, enabling
travel throughout the tri-county area (including Dade, Broward
and Palm Beach County). More
detailed information about the following transportation systems
can be found:
- Metro-bus
- Metro-passes for Metro-bus, Metro-rail and Metro-mover
can be purchased from the FIU Parking & Traffic Department
on the University Park Campus for $45.00 a month.
If you want to park in a Metro Station, you will need to
purchase a Parking Hang Tag for an additional $5.00 (cash
only). Metro-passes are limited, so to ensure you
get a metro-pass through FIU, you should pre-pay by the
second week of each month for the following month's metro-pass.
Your prepaid metro-pass can be picked up a week prior to
the beginning of its effective month (i.e., metro-pass for
August would be paid for the second week of July and picked
up the last week of July). For more info, visit
