cb2367 Posted August 26, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Cruising out of Miami in November but staying in Fort Lauderdale (due to costs). I'm planning to take bright line from Fort Lauderdale and it looks like from Google maps that the Miami station is maybe about three blocks to the Bayside area. Is it possible to walk into the port or is the best option going to be to get an Uber to from bright line to the port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_BJ Posted August 26, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) it is possible but you'd have to cross the bridge (up and over) that connects the mainland to Dodge Island - the port and depending on who you are sailing your walk could be nearly 2.5 miles .... and the port isn't really set up for foot traffic and car/truck traffic is heavy .... i'd taxi/uber Edited August 26, 2022 by Capt_BJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rothko1 Posted August 27, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 27, 2022 You can take the complimentary shuttle from the Station to the Port: Mobility | Brightline (gobrightline.com) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb2367 Posted August 28, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I wasn't aware of the bright line shuttle. I assume they'll also do pickups at the terminals to bring passengers back to the train on disembark day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobstam Posted August 28, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I was checking into the Brightline and had a chat with them, they do not offer port to station at this time so you will need to uber or taxi to the station upon return. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two different shuttles: One is the free courtesy shuttle that can take you from the Station to the Port. It leaves every hour, and is space available (first come first served). You don't book or request it; you just get off the train and get on the shuttle if it is there, or wait for one to arrive. The other is Brightline+ program. It's a Tesla or Shuttle that you reserve ahead of time. But you pay for it: it is included with a First Class ticket, or you can pay $5 more to the Basic ticket. The First Class ticket is for a private ride; the $5 Basic charge is for a shared ride. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
