MIAMI - Starting this week, Miami-Dade bus riders who were impacted by changes from the new bus network services will be able to request *free* Uber rides to help them get to their destination.

County officials announced the measure as an additional solution to support riders impacted by changes in Metrobus service following the launch of the Better Bus Network.

Officials said, "The short-term solutions include expanded MetroConnect service, renewed cooperation with neighboring cities and municipalities, an interim partnership with Uber to provide transportation vouchers for residents in certain areas where bus services have been altered and additional outreach sessions where residents will continue to have the opportunity to provide feedback on the new system."
