On Aug. 2, South Florida Regional Transit Authority (SFRTA) will add a morning and afternoon train to help alleviate overcrowding.

One additional northbound train will depart Miami Airport Station at 5:43 a.m. and arrive at Mangonia Park Station at 7:44 a.m. The second train will run southbound from Mangonia Park Station at 3:28 p.m., arriving at Miami Airport Station at 5:25 p.m.

The route is used by commuters and Palm Beach County School District students traveling between the county’s southern and northern areas. Several schools might adjust their schedules so students can ride the additional trains and spread ridership between several trains, according to a prepared statement.

Dedicated shuttle bus service for the additional trains will be available at the Miami Airport, Sheridan Street, Fort Lauderdale Airport and Cypress Creek stations. The Boca Center Shuttle also will provide connections at the Boca Raton Station.
