As of July 2021, the Town of Miami Lakes is expanding its Freebee eco-friendly and electric ridesharing service! The Town applied for and secured the Public Transit Service Development Grant provided by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to assist in funding the expansion. Based on Freebee’s popularity and reliability, the Town’s populous demand for Freebee far exceeds the current program’s availability. By adding an additional Freebee XL ADA accessible van, the Town will expand the hours of operation, routes, fleet, and transportation options to reduce peak hours traffic congestion, carbon emissions, and meet the growing demand for Freebee services for people of all ages and abilities.
Our residents and commuters can now enjoy a free on-demand connection from Town Hall, or Veterans Park, to the Palmetto Metrorail Station and back to starting points. The Town is also adding a second ADA accessible van to its Freebee fleet and expanding routes and schedule. As of July 12, 2021, the new hours of Freebee operations are:
- Monday to Thursday from 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM
- Friday from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM
- Saturday from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM
- Sunday from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM
You can request Freebee rides by using the smart phone app, or by calling to (855) 918-3733
