This is a full/complete ride of Panthers Express Shuttle Eastbound (2022 Gillig BRT 40'; 2217) from Amerant Bank Arena to Government Center West. The shuttle is operated by Broward County Transit Bus.
NOTE: Turn on Closed Caption [CC] to view my experience and impression of the bus ride.
You can view the inaugurated Panthers themed bus that I rode in this video here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/i39p1tidg9jTl5s.html
The westbound trip from Government Center West to Amerant Bank Arena departs every 60 minutes and only three buses, each hour (5:00pm, 6:00pm, and 7:00pm) and the eastbound return trip starts at 10:00pm and they will continue until all passengers/fans returned back to Government Center West.
The one-way fare to ride this bus is $2.00. The bus accepts cash (exact change) and Mobile Ticketing. For more information, link will be provided below: www.broward.org/BCT/Pages/FaresPasses.aspx

OPINIONS AND OBSERVATIONS:
This is one of the cheapest and fastest way to get to the arena from the park and ride at Government Center West. The ride took less than 20 minutes from/to the park and ride. The parking cost at the arena was really high and ridiculous ($75 for parking at the arena), and the cost for parking at the park and ride is FREE and $4.00 for the trip to the arena and back to the park and ride. This Panthers Express Shuttle was inaugurated since the first Stanley Cup Final game started on June 8, 2024. The eastbound trip that I rode was not in service and I said that the service continues at 10:00pm. However, I wasn't necessarily allowed to return because it was out of service. Fortunately, the supervisor came to me and friendly said that I am only able to use this service if I am attending the game, but he worked something out and said that this is alright, especially since this is my first time. A huge thank you to the bus operator and the transit supervisor for making this video possible.
Unfortunately, the number of riders riding the bus is really low and it is known that not many people know about this cheap service. It is likely that this express shuttle will be discontinued after Game 7, due to lack of people using this reliable service. Alternatively, passengers can also use Route 22 from the park and ride to Amerant Bank Arena, if the service is discontinued. I think this is the cheapest and fastest way to get to the arena from the park and ride, as of now (likely will be discontinued). But if it continues, I would consider recommending using the service, as this service is completely worth it and hopefully the rider population will increase next time.
