Miami Air Conditioned Shelters

The first air-conditioned bus shelter in the region was formally opened in a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Hialeah.

Miami-Dade County and Hialeah officials gathered to formally open the air-conditioned bus shelter at the Hialeah Metrorail station. The structure has a sliding door and contains a row of seats inside.

The enclosed air-conditioned shelter has room for four people seated, and 11 standing.

It’s part of a pilot program that eventually could lead to the installation of more airconditioned bus shelters in Miami-Dade.

These air-conditioned shelters incorporate advertising displays outside and inside, which can be used to provide revenue to the transit agency.

Future systems also offers heating options for cold weather locations.
