Florida (FL)
Miami-Dade Transit
Miami-Dade County is Florida’s largest by population and ranked in the top ten in the whole of the USA. Until
recently it was simply Dade County but the Miami was added to the name in 1997 to recognise the county seat
and major economic and population centre. As the county is unconsolidated (i.e. two-tier), the county, and not the
local councils, is responsible for transportation, and does so through Miami-Dade Transit (Metro Dade Transit
prior to 1997) with the buses branded as ‘Metrobus’. The operator was a keen user of the Flxible Metro, with
various powertrain combinations, but has been wedded almost exclusively to American Ikarus and successor
NABI since the mid 1990’s. The last remaining Flxible Metros are now in the reserve fleet.
The NABI 30-LFN is a left hand drive, Cummins ISB-powered version of the Optare Solo and Miami-Dade is the
only operator to take some as normal service buses (all the others in the US are used as car park or airport
shuttle buses). Full details of the NABI (Optare) imports are given, where known, with abbreviated details of the
indigenous population. The check digits in the VIN sequences are indicated by an ‘x’.
