Got to the Deerfield Beach station 15 minutes before the train arrived, and bought tickets through the ticket machine. For some odd reason the machine couldn't read 3 different credit cards but it took cash, so bring cash just in case. Totally different way of traveling, but it's running on time and it's faster than driving. So far so good!

Rather than spend over $100 on an Uber after my last cruise, I decided to use mass transit for my…read morereturn trip North! From Miami cruise port, mass transit consists of taking three different lines. First, the Miami Trolley, which is free, then the Miami Metro for $2.25, and lastly Tri-Rail for $5.00. On the weekends Tri-Rail only runs on the hour, so if you miss just miss the train, you're waiting an hour for the next one. That was me! Once on board, I found the train clean and comfortable. Nice to have a bathroom on the train, but it was in pretty sad shape overall. It wasn't hot the day I traveled so the air conditioning kept it quite cool inside. Don't know what it's like during a busier time, but based on my one experience, I wouldn't hesitate to take Tri-Rail again, especially since it saved me over $90 dollars!

That is because it is not right next to the highway compared to some. I have been to this stop very early in the morn and felt pretty safe from some stuff going down. Most train stations in the U.S. and in the world in general are sketchy spots to be, especially after dark; this spot not so much. It's a tranquil spot actually. It is up against part of the El Rio Trail. That's a trail that runs north and south through Boca Raton. I have jogged this trail or bicycled the path up and down and it's length. often I will cut in to the tri -rail area to take a break or add some feet to my distance covered. It's always a relaxed place. Often there is people taking there bike off the train there as they can continue there commute home from there. I have been to a few other Tri-rail spots in South Florida that were good as well. None were better than the Boca though.

The lobby was clean and the staff were polite and answered all of our questions. There was plenty of room for seating and enough charging stations for everyone. We bought some waters and snacks. The restroom was also super clean. My ONLY complaint is the fragrance they use in the lobby. It's not very appealing to me. The train its self arrived on time. The train cars were clean, and the staff was also polite. We ordered a few snack packs for my son and a couple of adult beverages which were kinda pricey, however, we ordered for the experience. We were not disappointed. We have a trip planned in March and will be utilizing Brightline again!

For all those posting reviews of Tri-Rail on this listing, you got it right. Woohoo. This listing…read morehas the same address as the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority, out of Pompano Beach, which operates Tri-Rail. I knew Tri-Rail existed. I was curious about it. And I finally wound up riding on it. I'm giving it 3 stars ... more about that later. The trains are comical to me in that they're painted up to match the blue skies and palm trees of South Florida. They're comical because, in San Diego County, there is the beachy "Coaster," a commuter rail service from the northern bedroom suburbs into San Diego. And to which a friend and I would exclaim, "Hey, wow, man!" While South Florida isn't as surfed out as SoCal, the Tri-Rail trains do have enough of a "hey, wow, man" factor. Like everywhere else, "tri" means three, as is does for the simpatico (to South Florida) Tri-State area, from which many South Floridians hail. In this case, the 3 is for the counties of Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach. The extent of this trek is some 70 miles, from West Palm Beach at the top end to Miami International Airport at the bottom end. The latter is intermodal, meaning it ties into Miami's elevated Metrorail rapid transit system. Before they opened it, it still tied into Miami's Metrorail system, just a little further north on the line going to Hialeah. Before getting more "negative," other major positives are that 2 out of 3 major South Florida airports are connected to this system - Miami (MIA) and Fort Lauderdale (FLL). Palm Beach International (PBI) is not. The train cars are comfortable and, with them being the funky split level ones that have humped centers, you can sit on either of two levels. I prefer a window on the upper level. Some of the seats are near tables. The trains move along quietly. Also, away from Miami, many stations in Broward and Palm Beach counties have free parking lots, some of which are augmented by parking structures. Tri-Rail moves slowly. It's not rapid transit, that's for sure. With all the stations and so many segments at grade having to cross vehicular traffic, it averages about 30 mph. I was in Palm Beach County and parked at the northernmost mangy Mangonia Park station. It took 2 hours to get to the Miami International Airport station, and that didn't include the Metrorail ride to Miami! Tri-Rail is probably better for and more used by people taking a segment of the entire route, such as Broward to Miami, or Palm Beach to Broward. It's not cheap, either, but it is in the ball park with other similar systems ... commuter rail is not urban mass transit. They do incentivize you to ride it on weekends, though. A day ticket costs $5, and you can go down to Miami with that. As for transfers onto Metrorail, and vice-versa, there is some sort of transfer agreement. Tri-Rail can also be scruffy and melodramatic. Some stations aren't as nice as others, but there is security. As for melodramatics, most of the riders are either looking out the window, listening to music, or doing work while others are theatrical, which means they are preaching and/or panhandling. One just ignores them. On one trip, an African-American lady in the aisle was in high gear about Christianity, all the while seeking money. Her delivery was suitable for "televangelizing." Why this is even relevant is because, as she was passionately delivering her spiel, she snapped out of it for a second or two and, in a regular "hey, you" voice, leaned into my seat and asked me for a mask. I handed her one and she went right back to her theatrics. It was like an on-off switch! I chuckled and figured that was my Christian-like contribution to her cause and enough of a good deed for that day. Tri-Rail taught me about the geography of its service area. I always thought that Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and (West) Palm Beach were sort of equidistant. Is that ever far from reality. Miami and Fort Lauderdale are "close" to each other, but (West) Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale are some 45 to 50 miles apart. That explains why the trip takes so long, and why they keep widening I-95. Given how obnoxiously people drive on I-95, it could make Tri-Rail look good. I can't forget to mention Brightrail. This venue runs on different tracks than does Tri-Rail ... in between I-95 and the ocean. Being in higher rent areas, it courts a different demographic. And, instead of heading south to MIA, it goes to downtown Miami. I've never ridden on Brightrail. So, as you can see, Tri-Rail is a mixed bag. I need to come up with 3 words for its 3 star rating. When Dr. Ruth Westheimer was on the air, she would often close out a call with a salutation relating to technique or recommended dynamics: "You try dat!" My friends and I loved this Germanic sounding salutation. I could also apply it to TRI-Rail: "You TRI dat ... or that!" The exclamation "hey, wow, man" also makes for 3 words, and 3 stars.

I asked in the main administrative office next to the station and the guard was helpful in guiding me to one of the ladies in administration.

She went way beyond the call of duty by personally walking me to the train station ticket vending area and showing me how to fund or reload the Easycard. She set a great example of customer service at Tri-rail in South Florida. What a wonderful experience! She's a great asset to Tri-rail.

We used Uber primarily for a few reasons: 1. My wife gets $15/month + $20 extra in December in Uber credits as the primary on an American Express Platinum Card. 2. She's an Uber One member (full $120 membership cost credited by Amex). 3. We both earn Delta SkyMiles by riding with Uber. I ended up calling multiple Ubers despite not having the first two benefits listed above. Prices were reasonable with trips ranging from $16.93 to $30.95 after tip. I noticed coming from the airport, I was charged $0.66 for the "Dolphin Expressway SR836 - 17th Ave. Eastbound" (standard SunPass rate) and a $2.00 "MIA Airport Surcharge."

We have been using Uber for years to travel to the Miami airport, Doral and Fort Lauderdale. It is definitely helpful to use during Halloween and New Years Eve. It has gotten more pricey this last couple of years even with the cost of gasoline dropping, so not really sure why. The attitude of each driver varies and also the cleanliness of their cars. Some driver's are chatty and some have zero communication with passengers and some instances an extreme language barrier. Communication during each trip enhances the experience, but as long as their GPS is working and I get to my destination on time without getting involved in a crash is fine with me. We also have used Uber in Europe although in some areas it was limited or non existent and therefore were forced to use a taxi.
