When ever you travel to new and different places , it really pays to look at all your option of…read moretransportation. The choices are endless. Do we take a taxi to our hotel ? Do we rent a car? Use Uber ? The choice that you make can save you big Bucks! My wife happen to read reviews of the orange line on Miami Metro Line. You can catch the orange line right at Miami International airport. The orange line stops just a few blocks away from our hotel. And guess what ? A one way ticket is only $2.25 . There were security officers at the ticket machine to help anyone who needed help. So the two of us to get to the hotel only cost us $4.50 total. I have to say that the Metro Line wasn't new by any means, nor the fastest, but it was clean ! For the price of &4.50 for two it cant be beat! There was plenty of security at the airport as well as all along the ride to the hotel. So the next time you fly into Miami International airport, keep a open mind and consider Miami's Metro Line for your transportation needs. I'm glad we did!

Prior to Uber and being able to drive Metrorail was how I got around!…read more The reason this review is four stars is because transit in Miami is not yet the best organized and you have to leave either two hours earlier or deal with heat and other inconvenience of being in public transit. Like any big city, you do need to use your common sense when taking the train. Still and all, with the growth Miami has experienced in the last few years, it is certainly getting better. There are a nice amount of apartments, bars, restaurants and shops right next to the Brickell stop. The Brickell station also connects to the Metromover, which puts downtown and the Edgewater area a short ride and definitely cheaper than an rideshare. Walk a few blocks down the Underline Park under the tracks, and you're in the Coral Way / Roads area as well. Case in point, this last Friday night I was able to enjoy my Elite Experience Burger at Burgermeister (2 blocks away), run an errand on Coral Way and jump on the Metrorail (30 minute wait at that time) to the station closest my house and uber over. Glad to see this growth in multimodal transportation for our city.

It's a rail station built in Florida in the 1980s... so my criticims are based in history, as the…read morestation and rail lines were evidently contemplated to build upon the locational efficiencies next to the freeway (but does have a nice park next door... across yet another surface vehicular parking lot)... but what this means is that this station is disconnected from the more walkable areas of Hollywood and relies more on automotive transporation for the ""last mile"" travvel. The City and County do a good job of having connections (Sun Shuttle, BCT [Broward County Transit]) - but a walk downtow will take a good 30 - 45 min. As to the actual station, there's not enough benches... or trash cans. There's also so much anxiety if the train is coming, if you're on the right platform, the trains don't run late enough, and the transit cops can often be... brusque. But it's such a net positive to have rail options (with signage and audio message in three (3!) languages) in this urban-surburban-car-dominated-megaopolis. I support it fully and want MORE investment in stations like this to make it better.

Not that I'm complaining, considering it's convenient for when I'm visiting friends who live at the apartment building right across the street. Standard security courtesy of MDC Transit, the elevator here is out about 40% of the time, and the escalator is almost always going up. Good enough, it's a metro station.

You can also take the orange line to get to the airport. It also has a transfer at the Tri-Rail station where you can opt to go all the way to West Palm beach. This particular station has connecting bus routes to downtown and connects to the 595 express that takes you all the way to Sunrise in Broward County. Additionally if you are going to Marlins park and you don't want to get stuck in traffic and avoid 20+ dollar parking this is a great solution. You can park your car at any Metro-Rail station and get an all day pass and come to this station and the marlins shuttle (the 55 bus) will take you to and from the Stadium. They have shuttles running from the Stadium to the Culmer Metro-Rail station from prior to the game up to 2 hours after the last pitch. Also pointing out that riding public transportation is great for the enviroment and helps decongest highways. Great work Miami-Dade Transit!

This route circles the entire South Beach area and it has been one of the best services that you can find in the beach. It is so convenient! If you are ever on one end of the beach and want to get to the other the best way to get there is to just hop on the Local. No need to walk in our 90+ degree weather or move your car if it really is in a great parking spot. Cons -What keeps it from being a 5 star rating? Although most buses are in good shape, there are a couple that are dirty..graffiti, wear and tear and I know I have seen a couple of roaches in the back of one bus. ick. Sometimes the buses don't run 10-15 minutes apart, they are back to back, so you have to wait ages for the next one to pass by. But that is the exception not the norm. Pros - It is only 25 cents. It goes down West Ave from Publix and then down Alton and up Washington and through Dade Blvd. Depending on the time of day it runs every 10-15 minutes. It has a/c. For those who ride a bike, they do have a bike rack in the front of the bus. Great for going to the beach if you live on the west end. It normally is not very packed and all sorts of people use it. Not like the the metromover in downtown/brickell which serves as housing for our homeless population at times. All in all very good service for a very important local convenience. Check it out.
