How do I get to the Tri Rail from MIA?

[CRUISING71]

Where is the Tri Rail located at the MIA airport? And how do I get from FLL port to the Trai Rail in FLL so I can return back to MIA airport?

 

Thanks,

Tibbie

Cab from Port Everglades to the Tri-Rail station. By when you cruise in 2013 I believe that the Tri-Rail should go straight to MIA. Good luck! :)

We have used the tri rail sytem several times in the past from Fll to MIA and back. Found it easy, dependable, and cheap. Got to love it.

I found this information on the MIA Airport FAQ webpage:

"...and Tri-Rail Commuter Train Service , located just outside the airport (free shuttle service to and from the train station is available the lower level 1st level bus station). Please contact Tri-Rail directly to inquire about the rates and schedules for the train service."

 

Here's a link to a map of MIA's terminals.

 

Here's some info on bus service from the Tri Rail to Port Everglades.

 

I have never used Tri-Rail and did some searching for you. Maybe someone more knowledgeable and with experience will come along and tell you exactly how to use it. I hope this helps.

it is a commuter rail, not known for timeliness and not luggage friendly....

 

they are doing construction, but as of now, the FLL & MIA airport stops are no place near the airport and you must ride a non-luggage friendly shuttle...

 

that said, it is cheap and if you can handle your bags, then you should be OK.. BUT do NOT cut it too close...granted, i am not a resident and have only used it about a dozen times, never for cruises and in at least 8 of those times, it was late....4 times close to 2 hours due to cancellations, etc....

 

allow plenty of time......that's my only read advice, and do not have too much stuff to haul....

Do a thread search here on Tri-rail..there was a giant one on here yesterday.

 

I love the Tri-rail..I take it to the airport all the time.

 

I am the only person you'll probably ever see on the Tri-rail threads who has never found it to be late. Ditto to what the others said about the luggage. The one time it was late was due to a car crossing the train track and getting smacked, and then they bused us to the next nearest station a few minutes away.
