Ok, how to go from FLL to MIA???
June 6, 2007
Ok, there was just one problem, reaching Miami. Going from MIA to FLL wasn't any problem, since Monica picked me up from the airport. But now I was by myself. This was before my traveling solo adventures, so I was a bit worried about what to do, mmm. These were the possibilities:
-taking a cab: NO WAY! too expensive!!!
-renting a car: not even for 24hrs? crazy, crazy,
so I remember I read something about the tri-rail when I was at the airport. Ok, let's try that. I had plenty of time, so no worries. I took my luggage and went to the shuttle stop. There was a lady and we started to talk, she was in her way to the train station too, hahaha. We took the free shuttle. At the station we both were waiting for the same train. I'd go to Miami and she would go in the other direction. No problem. We arrived to the station, I bought my ticket: US$2. Cheap, haha
The train came just 10min later. The journey was fast and comfortable. I couldn't believe US$70 vs US$2, hahaha. I saved a lot of money, hahaha ;)

Tri Rail - great transportation system Miami - Fort Lauderdale
I've always heard Miami has a bad public transportation. Therefore finding this train was a great surprise.
I was in Fort Lauderdale, but needed to go to Miami in order to take my flight back home. I was exploring my options: a taxi was too expensive (considering it was just me) and renting a car for less than 24hrs was pointless.
I was browsing about my options online and found this cool solution on FLL's airport website. Have to say the customer support from Tri Rail is really good. I exchanged a couple of emails before arriving to FLL and they were very helpful.
They also offer free shuttle from/to airport - train station. The train fee is cheap and the trains are clean and comfortable, plus you avoid the traffic of rush hours.
You can check the schedules online and be sure you'd be able to catch your flight. If you don't want to spend much money, have time and don't worry about taking a shuttle from the station to the airport, I recommend to try Tri Rail :)
