- Over 100 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. Most routes are identified by number or letter, however several others, especially Express, MAX, Shuttle, and Flyer routes have formal names as well. 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 KAT, standing for Kendall Area Transit, which only include Route 204 and Route 272. Lettered Metrobus routes primarily serve Miami Beach, a practice inherited from the Miami Beach Railway Company upon its public takeover in 1962. Increasingly these routes are being referred to by a 100-series number corresponding to that letter's position in the alphabet (101-126 except for 104 which is a suburban Kendall route which also serves MDC Kendall Campus), however these numbers only appear online, customer service applications, and the GO Miami Dade App and do not appear on printed timetables or on the buses themselves. They will also be shown in parentheses next to the letter. When the former route T was converted into a MAX line in November 2008, it was re-designated as route 120. There was a similar occurrence when MDT took over the South Beach ElectroWave shuttle service in October 2005. It was merged with the similar pre-existing route W, rebranded as the South Beach Local, and given a number of 123. However, this number does not appear on the buses or on timetables. In December 2009, MDT merged route R and a portion of route K to two new routes numbered 115 & 117, doing away with the R and K lettered designations. (en)
