The Route: MIA Mover and Metrobus
The key to this budget-friendly journey is utilizing a combination of the free MIA Mover and the Metrobus.
- MIA Mover: This free, automated people mover system connects the airport’s terminals. It’s a convenient way to get around the airport and reach the Metrobus station.
- Metrobus Route 150 (Miami Beach Airport Express): This route provides direct service from the airport to South Beach. A one-way fare costs $2.25.
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Board the MIA Mover: Head to the central terminal on the third level and take the MIA Mover to the Metrobus station.
- Catch the Metrobus: Once at the Metrobus station, look for Route 150. Board the bus and pay the $2.25 fare.
- Enjoy South Beach: The Metrobus will drop you off at various stops along South Beach. Choose the one that’s closest to your desired destination.
Tip: Ask your hotel for the closest stop to get off. My hotel was on Collins Ave and I had to get off at Washington Avenue for the nearest stop!
Tips for Your Journey:
- Check bus schedules: Before your trip, verify the Metrobus schedule to ensure you catch the right bus.
- Bring a map: A map of South Beach can help you navigate the area once you arrive.
- Consider a day pass: If you plan to use the Metrobus multiple times during your stay, a day pass might be more economical.
