North Bay Village Freebee Loop — Always Free
Door-to-Door Electric Rides on the Island
North Bay Village operates an island-exclusive on-demand Freebee electric vehicle fleet — door-to-door free rides between waterfront restaurants, hotels, and the 79th Street Causeway corridor.
North Bay Village is a small island municipality between Miami Beach and the mainland, home to a concentrated strip of waterfront restaurants and bars along the 79th Street Causeway. The Freebee service here is genuinely useful: it operates entirely within village borders, connecting residents and visitors between dining destinations without the causeway parking hassle.
