Bonjour,
Est-ce que le bus s’arrête à l’hôtel south beach plaza sur lincon avenue ? Quel est son numéro ?
Combien coûte un billet et où peut on l’acheter ?
Cordialement.
Bonjour,
Oui, le bus Airport Express s’arrête à l’intersection de Washington Avenue et de la 13ème rue, à 3 minutes à pied de l’hôtel South Beach Plaza. L’Airport Express est le bus n° 150, et le tarif est de 2,25 $ seulement pour chaque trajet.
Il y a deux (2) distributeurs automatiques de tickets à la place des bus pour acheter des titres de transport. Remarque : le chauffeur de bus ne peut pas rendre la monnaie, il faut donc avoir le montant exact ou acheter un Easy Ticket avant de monter à bord.
Bon voyage !

Is this a public transit or just for airport shuttle solely? Does it go to Collins Blvd?
Hi Latreese,
The Airport Bus is public transit that provides express service from MIA to Miami Beach. Yes, the bus does have stops on Collins Avenue. For most of the beach route – you’re never more than a block or two from Collins Ave.
Here’s a link to the route: http://www.miamidade.gov/transit/library/routes/150.pdf

Is it true the local buses and the airport flyer bus are free to use right now due to covid?
Bill
https://dygreencard.com/
Hi Bill. Yes, it’s true. Buses and trains are free until further notice.
Is it still free? Coming next weekend
Hi Scott,
Unfortunately, not! Transit fares were reinstated a few months ago. At $2.25 – it’s still a great deal ( comfortable bus, lots of luggage space, and not having to deal with South Florida traffic)! Have fun and enjoy Miami Beach.
jeff @ http://www.LincolnRoad.com
How much would a shuttle be from Miami airport to AC hotel Miami Beach?
Hi Kim,
A private shuttle from MIA to The AC Hotel (29th & Collins Ave.) should run between $25 and $30. The Miami Beach Airport Shuttle is currently free to ride (due to Covid-19) and makes a stop at 29th and Indian Creek – which is just a 5 minute walk to your hotel.
Enjoy your stay.

Can you purchase a round trip ticket for return to the Miami airport on the airport express bus, if so does it pick up at same stops as you were dropped off.
Hi Mark,
Hi Mark,
The system does Not have an option to purchase round-trip tickets. Riders can pay directly at Metrobus fareboxes using their contactless-enabled bank cards, digital wallets, or exact cash fare of $2.25.
Yes, most pickup spots are just across the street from the dropoff location.

I am going to South Beach, Miami in May and I have two questions:
1. I see a previous comment about trains and buses being free. Is this still the case or do I still have to purchase the $2.85 Express Ticket?
2. Do I hop back on the train (Route 150) back to the Miami Airport FROM South Beach and will there be a kiosk in South Beach?
Thank you,
Hi Duy,
1. All Miami-Dade transit is free until June 1, 2021.
2. The Airport Express makes several stops in South Beach. You didn’t mention your hotel, but I’m sure that there’s a stop nearby. Returning to the MIA Airport is easy. Just find the closest Airport Express bus stop & hop on.
Enjoy your stay in South Beach!

I have a 5 hour layover at Miami international airport. Would that be enough time to go to the beach for breakfast using route 150?
Hi Juan,
Typically, the trip takes between 45 minutes and 1 hour – depending on traffic. Add in another 10 minutes to get from the terminal to the bus pickup area. It’s possible, but I would not take the risk. I’d feel more comfortable taking the bus over and grabbing an Uber or Lyft back to the airport.
Take care!

Reading your responses and I appreciate your feedback and clear directions to folks.
We have a 9 hour layover in Miami (1pm – 10:00pm). We are hoping to hangout at the *best* beach, shop a bit, and would love to eat at Little Havana, if possible. Do you have some suggestions on how we can get to each of these areas via the bus and make it back to catch our flight? Thank you so very much.
Hi Stella,
Thanks for reading our Lincoln Road blog – I appreciate your comment! Your request is definitely feasible, but using public transportation for the entire trip might prove challenging. Getting from the airport to South Beach and back is super easy. The Airport Express Bus takes between 45 minutes and 1 hour each way (depending on traffic).
Take the Airport Express bus to Washington Avenue & Lincoln Road. You’ll be five minutes away from beautiful beaches and in the heart of the SoBe. Lincoln Road has plenty of shops, restaurants, sidewalk cafes, and two food halls. Stroll the Beachwalk to Ocean Drive or hop on the free South Beach Trolley and cruise down to South Pointe Park. If you don’t make it to Little Havana, Puerto Sagua and Havana1957 are two popular Cuban Restaurants in South Beach. https://goo.gl/maps/Dfme3zNTkgMQqDjd9
From South Beach to Little Havana via bus will take at least 1 hour & 20 minutes and two buses – on a good day. Here’s a South Beach to Little Havana bus route to check out: (https://goo.gl/maps/qFTgZngLSJfbxHmQ6). For this leg of your day trip, I recommend taking an Uber or Lyft.
The distance from Little Havana to Miami International is about six miles. Again, I would opt for an Uber or Lyft (about $10-$12 for three people & quick) over the city bus ($2.25/person). I hope this info helps!
Have fun!

Hi there. Hop off at Washington Avenue & 9th Street in South Beach. Your hotel is about a 3-minute walk away. To my knowledge – there is not a bag limit posted for the bus. The Airport Express Bus does not service the cruise terminal. I would suggest an Uber, Lyft, or shuttle. Enjoy your visit!

What is the nearest Airport Express stop to the convention center? Are fares still suspended? How often do the buses run to the airport? Thanks for all the great information on your blog!
Hi there,
We will be staying at the Blue Moon hotel. Where is the nearest stop please? Also, it looks as if regular buses take around 2hrs to get to the Dolphin Mall from South Beach. Time will be limited so wondering if quickest and cheapest quickest option would be to get airport express and then taxi from the airport?
Hi Lynne,
Hop off at the Washington Avenue & 9th Street stop – your hotel is just across the street. The quickest option to get to the Dolphin Mall would be to grab an Uber or Lyft from South Beach. Check the apps – probably going to cost about $35. From the airport, an Uber/Lyft runs about $15-$20. Since your time is limited, I’d grab an Uber or Lyft! Hope this helps.

Hello,
We are traveling to Miami Beach for the Boat show Feb 16-19, 2022. Is this airport shuttle service still available? We will be staying at the Crystal Beach Suites. About how long does the shuttle take and is there a busy traffic time? Is the shuttle service available in the late afternoon? Our flight arrives at 4:30 on Feb 16.
Thanks, Kathy Sader
Hi Kathy,
The Airport Express route is still offered, but unfortunately, it doesn’t travel all the way north to Crystal Beach Suites. You will need to switch to another bus or hop on the Collins Express free trolley service once you arrive at the beach.
Here’s my suggestion: take the Airport Express Bus to Indian Creek Drive & 37th Street in Miami Beach. From there, walk 2-minutes to Collins Avenue & 38th Street and hop on the free Collins Express Trolley. The trolley has a stop at 69th Street – just a 3-minute walk to your hotel.
Buses run every 30 minutes and provide express service from 6 a.m. to 11:40 p.m., seven days a week. I hope this info helps! Enjoy the Boat Show.

Hello,
Is your shuttle wheelchair accessible? We are trying to get transportation to MIA on Sunday Feb 13th. Thank you!
Hi Arianna,
Yes, all Miami-Dade Transit buses are wheelchair-accessible. Passengers using wheelchairs have the right to board and exit the bus first before any passenger. Ask the bus operator if you need assistance in boarding, exiting, or securing your wheelchair or mobility aid. Hope this info helps. Have a safe trip!
jeff @ http://www.LincolnRoad.com
Hi Greg,
Sorry, the Airport Express Bus does not serve the cruise terminal. I would suggest grabbing Uber/Lyft from the port – the fare should be about $20. Using public transportation would require you to switch buses several times and take over an hour to reach the airport. I hope this info helps.
Best,

Hi,
We are arriving 8/4. We are a party of 3 with 3 fairly large suitcases. Will the $35 taxi transfer still be applicable to us or will we need something bigger?
Thanks
Hi Mark,
I’m not sure that three large suitcases will fit into a regular taxi. Maybe the rate is the same for the larger taxi vans as for the cars. I searched but can’t find a price distinction. If you’re staying in South Beach – the Airport Express Bus is a great option: Miami Beach Airport Express Bus
Enjoy your stay!
