Your Miami bus route might get cut, acere.

Your bus route might be cut, acere

Bro, listen— you know how we complain about traffic, right? Palmetto is a parking lot, Brickell Avenue is a nightmare. You ever been stuck on 8th Street trying to get to work? It's a whole ordeal. So what does Miami-Dade County decide to do? Cut bus routes. *Cut* them. They're trying to save $2 million a year, but what about the millions of us trying to actually live our lives? This ain't right, man.

### What This Means for Miami

Nah because, think about it. We got people who rely on these buses to get to their jobs in Wynwood, to school in Hialeah, to their doctor's appointments. This isn't just about saving money, this is about how people navigate *our* city. They’re cutting one whole route and making three others run half as often. That's more waiting in this Miami heat, more missed connections, more stress for the people who need it most.

* One entire route eliminated.

* Three other routes will run at half the current frequency.

* This is supposed to save the county $2 million annually.

They say this is supposed to happen in late July. So you're telling me, with all the development, all the new people moving here, all the luxury towers going up in Doral and Brickell, we can't figure out how to keep a damn bus running for our own residents? Dale, that's how we do it in the 305. It's always the everyday Miamian who gets squeezed.

Oye, catch more of this fire on the morning show! My people are live every day at mornings.live.
