Over 70 Metrobus routes are operated by Miami-Dade Transit with some routes contracted by LSF, serving Miami-Dade County, Florida and connecting with several routes in adjacent counties. Routes are identified by numbers only; however, others, specifically Express, MAX, and Shuttle routes, also have formal names/numbers. Routes that are labeled as "Connections" are regular service routes introduced during the 2000s that, for the most part, are either primarily or were formerly operated by minibuses. Routes labeled as MAX, short for Metro Area Express', are limited stop services. Some routes have branches that carry an "A" or "B" suffix, while the "X" suffix denotes an express route, although for the 95X, this exists only in print. The West Kendall area buses do not use "X" either and instead are labeled as MAX, standing for Metro Area Express which only includes Route 204, Route 272, and Route 288.
As of November 13, 2023 with the introduction of the Better Bus Plan, [1] many routes were discontinued, letter/number changed and extended to new places.
