Officially, Dade County has opted for a "unified, multimodal transportation network," which basically
means you can get around the city by train, bus, and taxi. However, in practice, the network doesn't work
very well.
By Public Transportation
By Rail -- Two rail lines, operated by the Metro-Dade
Transit Agency (tel. 305/770-3131 for information; www.co.miami-dade.fl.us/mdta), run in concert with each
other.
By Metrorail,
is a 21-mile elevated line that travels north-south, between downtown Miami and the southern suburbs.
Operates daily from about 6am to midnight. Fare is $1.25.
Metromover, circles the downtown area and connects with Metrorail at the
Government Center stop. System hours are daily from about 6am to midnight, and
the ride is free.
By Bus -- Miami's suburban layout is not conducive to
getting around by bus.
You can get a bus map by mail, by writing the Metro-Dade Transit System, 3300 NW 32nd Ave.,
Mia, FL 33142. Locally, call tel. 305/770-3131. Fare is $1.25.
By Car
-- If you are counting on exploring the city, a car is essential. City's
attractions are far from one another. You won't need a car, if you are spending your entire vacation at a resort, are
traveling directly to the Sea Port for a cruise, or stay centered in one area
of the city.
By Car Rentals -- It seems as though every car-rental
company, big and small, has at least one office in town.
