You're doing such good service to the people of Miami. As a resident myself, thank you! I would have never thought twice about not taking an uber from MIA until now.
Thank you so much for your video! It really helped a lot - this would be our first time visiting Miami and we were so confused as to how to get to our hotel without breaking the bank. More of those videos please!!
The AMTRAK station isn't operating due to a design flaw by FDOT. It seems the passenger platforms for their trains aren't long enough to accommodate them & some of the rail cars would actually be blocking a street intersection nearby. They are trying to come up with solutions including closing that intersection permanently but there are objections to that as well. Enjoyed your video!
Yeah they spent all that money and only realized it was two short after it was done. The biggest obstacles to a good transport system here is government incompetence.
Thank you! Your video is very helpful. Last time I traveled to Miami, I experienced almost two hours line at Budget rental car. Thank you again, I was looking for other transportation options.
The Metrobus at $2.25 sounds a great option if you are alone and have just a small case. There doesn't seem to be luggage racks or space on the bus. If there are 4 of you and you have a couple of bags each, then a taxi is probably better. Besides, who wants to wait and queue for a bus after flying 10 hours across the Atlantic?
This was helpful. It seems there are two types of buses I saw one from 10 months ago which had a overhead storage and fabric seats. Going to try to take this route with two kids and luggage and car seats and stroller. We are from NYC so kids are used to being on the go and nobody besides you mentioned the extra area in the front for more luggage. Thank you!
Hey. I’ve seen videos with buying the metrobus ticket, you have to put your zip code? We are coming from Europe and don’t have a us address and zip code. Do we just put our home country’s zip code there?
Hi, thanks for the video! I am landing at 5:35pm and the latest bus rides at 5:55pm. I am arriving at MIA with Turkish airlines. Do you think I have enough time to get from the gate to the bus? Thanks!
Thanks !!! Great way to guide me from international airport to Miami beach....i will be doing an international stop of 10 hrs in Miami airport and I will use this time to see some places here...what bus do I have to take to go to little Habana?. Local restaurants to eat simple good homemade Cuban foods, I don't care for fancy and expensive restaurants. Thanks. ❤ Thanks.
If I purchase transportation for the day does it matter which transit I use? For example switching from bus to train? Metro bus, metro mover, metro rail
Renting a car is more comfortable but annoying if you’re staying in Miami Beach. Metered parking everywhere, extremely limited parking in many areas, sketchy lots that tow if you have expired meter, pricey overnight rates, traffic
@@JoelFrancoVlogs i stick to the city public lots, and I’ve been fortunate with parking. But Ubers add up to at least $100-$200 a visit. Meanwhile rental/parking is $400. Well worth the extra money imo
@@jgreed5 depends what you want. If you’d like to drive and don’t mind stress of finding a parking place and driving in a new city and expensive or in the car, then it’s fine or it may be better for family to rent a car. But for me or only traveling with one other person the $2.25 bus is the best. I’m enjoying not having to drive in the city. I’m not paying extra for parking for a night at a hotel, which is not cheap.
We will be going to a hotel 1 block from brickell transit station..we are out of towners and will have 3 pieces of luggage and and a collapsible wheelchair..i think a taxi is best for us..
Thanks so much for the info, Joel! How long is the walk from AA to Miami mover? I'm assuming it is going to be the same distance if I'm flying in from jetblue Terminal 5?
Hi Joel. Is the express bus from the airport to miami beach (or vice-versa) a route that always has traffic? Im asking for someone who is flight attendant and might end up relying a lot on this bus to get to work. It would be great to know if this bus is always late or a route with too much traffic. Thanks
The problem Amtrak had was that the train is too long and it would had blocked the street. The county spent millions of our tax dollars without researching this first.
Thanks for the video. However I am mask exempt so I don't think I can use the bus but I am happy to hire a car to get around. But I like the fact that the public transport is easy to use.
The Amtrak will never go there. At this time or any time 😄 They word it like that to make you believe that it’ll be there at some point. After wasting millions of tax payer money, the idiots who designed the station didn’t make big enough to fit an Amtrak train & that’s why it’ll never open.

Is Bright line train close to the Miami international airport
Can someone tell me the shortest time and cheapest way from miami international airport to cape coral.
You didn't show how to get to the county buses/metro bus.

brotaer I need to go from orlando airport to Miami or Miami airport , how I do it
Brightline has a train going from Orlando Int’l Airport to downtown Miami. I have a video on it!
Lately been renting a car, pricey but its so much better

As you got you got of the plane did you go back up to 3rd floor to ride the rail?

Try an Uber/Lyft instead of a taxi but yeah it’s probably best with that much luggage.

Go TriRail. Go Metrorail. Go Amtrak (eventually). Go public transit.

1 yr ago and a MASK?
Where do you get off?
The bus route begins and ends at the airport’s rental car center.
I'm thinking of taking the bus from MIA to Sawgrass Mill mall during my layover. Possible? Reply to my comment and let me know 😊
Thanks for teaching us how to save money from Miami Airport to miami beach whit $2,50$ I make it I save like 40 dollars gracias

Is there public transportation to get to the cruise port?
The Miami Trolley has stops at the port with their Coral Way route. It’s free too.
@@JoelFrancoVlogs thanks
oh man
no AMTRAK
