Public Transport

Despite the popularity of driving or taking a cab, Miami still provides ample opportunities for public transportation. The Metromover is an excellent way of moving around in downtown Miami. It is free and runs from 5 am until midnight seven days a week. The Metrorail runs from the north to the south of Miami across downtown and operates every day from 5 am until midnight. Easy Tickets can be purchased at any Metrorail station. The Metrobus service covers all of the Greater Miami areas, and several buses operate 24/7. Fares can be paid with small change either on board the bus, or before entering the Metrorail – in addition, the EASY Card can be bought in certain specified outlets across the city and loaded with money or for a period of time. The South Beach Local is the cheapest and most scenic way to travel along South Beach. The route covers the Art Deco District, making stops at more than 20 points of interest. The bus travels along Washington and West Avenues, from South Pointe to 17th Street and the Convention Center, with service running every 10-15 minutes from 8 am until 1 am on weekdays and Saturdays, and from 10 am until 1 am on Sundays and holidays.
