Metromover will remain free to the public for now.

3/29/2015

The downtown Metromover system will remain free for now as Dade County commissioners rejected a plan yesterday to add a fare by a vote of 10-2.

It would have cost between $2.4 million and $9 million to begin collecting fares, and an additional $525,000 every year. A fare of $1 would have generated between $1.8 million and $2.7 million each year, meaning that it would have taken years to recoup the costs.

The county is now considering privatizing the system, according to a report in the Herald.
