Worth knowing about Miami
- Miami's Metrorail tracks are mostly elevated rather than in tunnels, so the Orange Line ride from MIA station stays largely in the open air.
- MIA's free MIA-WiFi tier is complimentary with advertising; ad-free access costs $4.95 or $7.95.
- The MIA Mover is free and runs a roughly two-minute ride from the terminal to the Miami Intermodal Center, where Metrorail, Metrobus and Tri-Rail connect.
- Taxi flat fares from MIA were eliminated on 19 July 2022; all trips are metered with a $2.00 airport origination fee and a $15 minimum fare.
- Fort Lauderdale (FLL), about 34 km north of Miami, also serves Miami-area arrivals and provides free Wi-Fi in all terminals, concourses and the Rental Car Center.
- Metromover, the free elevated people mover, serves 21 stations across downtown, Omni and Brickell on three loops. It runs 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, with cars every 90 seconds at rush hour and every 3 minutes otherwise.
- Metrorail runs from 5 a.m. to midnight every day. Riders can pay at the fare gate with a contactless card, an EASY Card or EASY Ticket, or a mobile pass in the GO Miami-Dade Transit app; cash buys cards at the ticket machines.
- A bus from the airport's Metrorail station, a short MIA Mover ride from the terminal, reaches Miami Beach between 41st Street and South Pointe Drive. It runs every 30 minutes from 6 a.m. to 11:40 p.m., seven days a week.
- Miami Beach runs a free citywide trolley from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily, about every 20 minutes on each route. The city pays for the premium tier of the Transit app so riders can track trolleys live at no cost.
- A free commuter water taxi crosses Biscayne Bay in about 20 minutes between Venetian Marina, also called Sea Isle Marina, on the Miami side and Maurice Gibb Memorial Park at 18 Street and Purdy Avenue. It does not run at weekends or on federal holidays.
- Cruise passengers on line-arranged transfers board at MIA's North bus station, Concourse D level 1 door 1, or the South bus station, Concourse J level 1 door 33. Taxis and ride app pickups use the arrivals level outside baggage claim.
