Miami-Dade County runs Metrorail, Metrobus and the Metromover. The City of Miami and several nearby cities add free trolleys, and Citi Bike Miami rents bikes by the ride or by membership. Fares change, so check the current prices on each operator's page (linked below) before you travel.
Metrorail and Metrobus
- Ways to pay: tap a contactless bank card or phone, use an EASY Card or EASY Ticket, or buy a pass in the GO Miami-Dade Transit app. Cash is accepted on Metrobus and at ticket vending machines, but cash riders pay the full fare every time they board a bus, with no transfer discount.
- Daily cap: if you pay with the same EASY Card (with stored value) or the same contactless card or phone wallet all day, the county caps what you pay in a day for unlimited Metrorail and Metrobus rides.
- Discounted fares: Medicare recipients, most people with disabilities and local K-12 students can ride at a discount with a discount EASY Card.
- Help with fares: Miami-Dade residents under certain income limits may qualify for free rides with the Mobility EASY Card or half fares with the Commuter Reduced Fare card. The Golden Passport and Patriot Passport cards let eligible riders travel free.
Metromover (free)
The Metromover is a free elevated people mover in Downtown, Omni and Brickell, with 21 stations on three loops: Omni, Inner and Brickell. It runs early morning to late evening, seven days a week. The county is upgrading the system, so check its page for station closures and free shuttle buses before you go.
Free trolleys
- City of Miami Trolley: free and wheelchair accessible, with routes through many city neighborhoods. Routes, hours and live tracking are on the City of Miami website. The city trolley doesn't go to Miami Beach.
- Miami Beach Trolley: Miami Beach runs its own free citywide trolley every day.
Citi Bike Miami
You can buy a pass for a short ride or a day, or a monthly membership for regular riding. Bikes must be docked back within your ride time to avoid extra charges, and riders must be 18 or older. Current prices are on the Citi Bike Miami pricing page.
