Rick B.

Unfortunately I was forced to ride tri rail for a month, and tri rail is essentially a mobile homeless shelter. The Wi-Fi on the train is slow as a 3G network. There is a guy that is always asleep each morning I board the train. One guy, drenched in the smell of weed, sat down, removed his shoes, put them up on the seat and proceed to listen to rap music while basking in the stench of cannabis. A million thanks to God, I stop taking the tri-rail.

Connection train to airport terminal.  Nice ride.

I have traveled on Amtrak several times. I was impressed of the seating area . The seats are wide…read morego back have a leg rest that pops up and a foot rest with a tray to come down too. There are plugs available for electronics against the wall if you like the window you have an easier connection but it can be used and cord across. There is room for luggage under the seat in front of you and under your legs and on top of needed. There is no extra charge for luggage. You are allowed a personal bag and another bag too per person. You can bring your own food but hey also have a cafe area where you can purchase drinks and food. The bathrooms are like an airline bathroom some do need cleaning especially on way back south bound Staff at location always nice and knowledgeable. Staff on the train depends I have had some really nice ones a lady I had couple of times but others not always as accommodating. This trip, I asked for a window seat since I got on first but they put me somewhere else and others who came after me ended up with 3 seats across and many seats still available. On the south bound train it's more difficult to get a seat and bathrooms usually need cleaning .They also offer semi and private car for upgraded fee. It does give you the freedom to relax . On your journey.

Found out today that This particular Amtrak station no longer has baggage service. You cannot bring…read morea regular suitcase unless you carry it on and sit with it on your seat. Now you need to bring only "Carry On" style luggage unless you get on in Fort Lauderdale or Delray Beach. Amtrak cut out the baggage service back on 8/29/2017. This is an old station and it is manned, has an air conditioned waiting room on the platform.

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 was at the Tri-rail office in Pompano Beach to get an Easycard. The ticket office usually handles…read morethis task but unfortunately the guy manning the ticket office was out for the day. 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. Sabrina was great in helping me with the paperwork, taking the picture, and processing the card through the computer downstairs. 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.

Uber's drivers provide ride-hailing, food delivery, and package delivery in thousands of cities…read moreacross several dozen countries around the world. This Yelp listing is for Uber in Miami. In March 2026, after my flight had landed at Miami International Airport, I requested an Uber ride through my phone app. Unfortunately, the driver drove to another part of the airport, despite my standing at the correct spot, messaging him the name of a nearby sign, and his seeing my blue dot on his screen. Eventually, he found me. The ride took 28 minutes, and it cost $33 plus a tip. The driver did make courteous conversation, drive safely, and did not give me a low rating.

We used Uber exclusively during our last trip to Miami, if I recall correctly. No issues. Our trips…read moremainly consisted of getting between the airport and the Biscayne Bay Marriott, as well as between the Marriott and various points in Little Haiti, Little River, and downtown. 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."
