( Miami - Dade county, Broward county, Palm beach county) Super convenient public transportation. There's Free parking lot for those who rather not drive for a long trip and decided they'll get there by train. It's about 9 bucks from Miami to Palm beach. I'd say a two hour ride. In total. I believe the train passes every 30 minute. But don't quote me, you can always check the train schedule online. I'd say it was pretty cool , nothing fancy but super reliable. Cool experience riding on the train.

Well I realize how do I now have over 100 check ins here but no review. So let me tell you about…read morethis place what you don't already know. The Metrorail comes in here but over the last thirty years as the City of Miami has evolved so has their central station. Years ago it was Government Center and I would connect to the metro mover. Now as Downtown has changed this truly is the main station. I come into here from Miami Airport to get to Downtown. Also it backs up into Brightline which is around the corner literally steps away. Lastly all the City buses come through here around the building there is a place a block up for the buses that go 595, in front of the building is buses going every ten minutes or so to the Golden Glades than a few steps from that at the side entrance to Metrorail is the 95 express buses. This place is literally a pu pu platter for all your transportation needs in and out of the City of Miami. I highly recommend it as parking is getting increasingly harder to find as well as expensive. You can get monthly passes which make it even more affordable if you come here daily as I do. Also across the way is a brand new Einstein's for a quick morning bite. It is very well lite in the area so don't let the name Overtown fool you it seems very safe. So far so good.

Staff was all very friendly.

To be blunt, I'm not sure who this service is for. It's not a commuter train nor is it the…read morecomfortable and easy shot to Disney I expected. It doesn't work well for those with heavy luggage and it's too expensive for families. After checking in, the app dumps you into your return trip, so you might not realize you're in the wrong seat because it defaults to the wrong QR code. It's also impossible to cancel your trip from the app. Once you're able to access it via Chrome, at best, you're refunded 15% of your ticket and that's just as more BL credit. Generally, I found both stations inaccessible and inefficient outside of the fact they have plugs on almost every chair. The Aventura station had hellishly loud music and required walking across a pedestrian bridge with escalators that were extremely small for a train that caters to people with luggage. Both directions they waited until 5-8 minutes before boarding to let everyone down to the platform (the number of which was an exciting surprise because they don't list it in writing anywhere but make an announcement on the loud speaker which could hamper those who are deaf or HOH) so it was a rush and would be difficult for slow walkers or people with a cane, walker, or injury. The top reason I would not personally recommend BL was the cell service - little to no cell service for the majority of the last leg of the trip. So I got to spend a surprise 2 hours in SOS/one bar mode with a screaming baby on my train. Although my trip back was better (no baby, full 4 seat area to myself, prepared and downloaded videos, train was mostly on time) I just don't see myself taking Brightline again. So what changes could they make? Well they could list the track number on the boards. Offer pre-board to those who need more time. They could have specific trains be direct from MIA/FLL to Orlando. They could have 21+/business cars and separate family cars with stroller parking, a changing table and a small child seat in the bathroom, as well as booster seats with seatbelts. Food could be ordered via the app (not a QR code). And finally they could make sure offboarding can take place from any car. All that being said, I preferred flying and don't see myself using them again.

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!

Give yourself about 30min before arrival to park, get through security and get situated. I rushed the last time and got on the wrong train!! So annoyed, and rode to Aventura (south) and the next train north to Orlando was 1.5 hrs away and waited for the 7pm train, errrr. My fault. I rode it again shortly after and once on the platform I just asked people, is this going North? I don't care, I still am unsure besides the electric sign inside the train to which one I'm getting on. I think they need digital signs on the platform saying where they are going. There are 2 tracks at the Ft. Lauderdale location, don't want to go the wrong way ever again! At the Orlando station it opens into the Orlando Airport. The Brightline station there has food. I'm sure the other stations do too, but not sure. We had a Cuban sandwich, chicken tenders and a cheese burger. We also had a Bloody Mary. It hit the spot after Universal studios trip. Have fun!

It does lose a star for the constant problem (across MetroRail stations) that the machines don't take a variety of debit/credit cards. Otherwise, it's positive that it's so well integrated within its urban environment, with bus stops and a nearby vehicular parking garage. As usual, there's typical anxiety if the train is coming, the trains don't run late enough, and it is so absurd that you have to tap your ticket/card to leave the station - what kind of regressive, criminalization of transit usage is that!? Absolutely needs to be changed. ALL THAT SAID, 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 - and I support it fully and want MORE investment in stations (better than this) to make it better.
