Lexus Lanes Or Lyft Lanes? Ride-Sharing Lanes In Works For Miami Roadways

Lexus lanes are a thing of the past. Miami officials want to create shoulder lanes for Uber, Lyft, and shuttle bus companies. 

The proposed plan could potentially open up the left-hand shoulders on some of the area's busiest expressways, namely the Dolphin, for shuttle buses and private cars selling services through Uber and Lyft mobile apps.

Tere Garcia, a spokeswoman for the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority, says details haven't been ironed out quite yet, but that a pilot program could launch within the year.

The idea is to let ride-hailing companies avoid regular traffic in an effort to encourage people to leave their personal cars at home. 

The toll authority would limit the program to vehicles carrying multiple passengers through options such as Uber Pool and Lyft Line.

Javier Rodriguez, executive director of the toll authority, says both companies have been involved in discussions about the program.
