Metrorail is Miami-Dade’s elevated heavy-rail line. Two services share it: the Green Line runs the full route from Palmetto in Hialeah down to Dadeland South in Kendall, and the Orange Line branches off at Earlington Heights to reach Miami International Airport. Between Earlington Heights and Dadeland South the two run over the same track, so on that stretch a train comes roughly every eight minutes on a weekday.
Trains start around 5:00 am and the last ones run just after midnight. One ride costs $2.25 however far you go, and transfers to and from Metrobus are free.
The two lines
Miami Metrorail runs on one railroad shared by two lines. Tap a line for its full station list, first and last trains, and how the weekend airport shuttle changes the Orange Line.
