• Silent night: Miami's new quiet electric bus line shepherds in development (costar.com) — Palmetto Bay is one of several South Dade towns now linked by Miami-Dade’s new all‑electric Metro Express bus rapid transit line, running from Florida City to Dadeland South. The system’s train‑like speed and frequent service are already spurring major transit‑oriented housing and retail projects along the corridor, potentially reshaping growth, traffic, and development patterns for communities like Palmetto Bay.
