Nice work.
Got my 7 day pass a few weeks ago, plan to use the buses the whole time or walk!
I am going to post later tonight hopefully to make sure all my logic sounds fine to all the places I am going. I made notes in a word document but its at home. |

bicentennial park metro mover station is generally closed (i dunno if they plan on opening it for ultra). so you'll have to take the C to the omni bus terminal and get on the metro mover there.
and some of those short bus routes on miami beach you could probably just walk. but if you wanted to take the bus then it all sounds right. |

Yeah, $28 for 7 days of transportation is a deal considering that's about what one taxi fare would cost! I ordered my 7-day EasyCard online today, so I should have it before leaving for Miami. I'll actually be there 8 days, but will just use cash (exact change!) for the first day and then tap the card on the 2nd day...Easy! :D |

I hope u get yours quickly! the first one they said they sent on dec 4th and I never got it, I waited the 30 days they said it takes and kept calling and emailing, finally they sent out another one and I got that within 4 days. I was getting worried for awhile. no one at that place could answer anything, they kept saying we shipped it out and stuff like that multiple times to me, but nothing ever came. Finally after emailing them over and over again and getting through to them that I need it fairly soon and I never got the initial one they sent me one finally that made it here. that was basically the last piece I was waiting for other than my ultra tickets which I just recently got as well. so all it well. |

thanks, I hope that one is open for Ultra I planned to use that to go from Ultra to Karu&y on friday night. either way if not the omni bus terminal doesnt look far so I should be good like u said. definitely need to take something once off C since it looks pretty far for walking to Karu&Y w/o that metromover
yeah I will probably just walk instead of waiting for the other buses.
thanks.
Basically my Friday is: take C from hotel and get off at Biscayne Bd@NE 9 St downtown and walk the rest to Chili's at Bayside market, then walk to Ultra, then take that omni "Adrienne Arsht Center Metromover Station" metromover stop to the "School Board Metromover Station" stop and walk the rest to Karu&Y
sat, and sun will use the same routes for the most part so I am good to go then. also I plan to get where I need to be before 12 midnight and for return trips I will be out till past 5am so everything bus wise and metromover wise will be running already.
thanks. |

Oh , "allow 30 days for delivery." I had looked all over their site for this information before ordering the 7-day pass, but nothing was mentioned. They should really put this in the FAQ section.
Anyway, for others who want to order the 7-day transportation pass online, please note that it may take up to 30 days for delivery! I hope they mess up again and send mine out too soon! :nervous: |
