Metrorail is a heavy rail system with
one line, running through downtown Miami and then south,
connecting with Tri-Rail, Metromover and Metrobus at
Government Center. Tri-Rail is a commuter rail system
that runs between three counties: Dade, Broward and
Palm Beach. The double-decker trains are a marvel of
cleanliness and, at least for the time being, they're
very cheap. For longer trips however, it takes about
four times longer to take Tri-Rail than to drive.There's
a regular Metrobus service between the airport and downtown
Miami and Miami Beach. You can also take a Metrobus
to the Greyhound station at the airport. From there,
Greyhound makes the 20-minute journey to the sleazy
downtown station several times a day.
Metro-Dade Transit's buses and the
metro cover a healthy amount of the city. The 'Omni
Metro-mover' and 'Government Center Terminal' in downtown
Miami are the main bus depots. Using the metro is a
good way to get a cheap tour of the downtown area. |
