About Tri-Rail
This station exists for one reason: it is where Metrorail meets Tri-Rail, the commuter railroad that runs up the coast through Broward and Palm Beach counties. Step off the Green Line, cross to the adjacent Tri-Rail platform, and you can carry on north toward Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton and West Palm Beach. The two railroads are run by separate agencies and sell tickets separately, so plan your trip with both schedules on hand.
Only Green Line trains call at the Metrorail platform, which means a wait of around ten to fifteen minutes on a weekday and roughly twenty at weekends — long enough that it pays to time your arrival to the Tri-Rail departure rather than the other way round. Government Center in downtown Miami is about twenty-one minutes south. There is no Metrorail parking here — the car park beside the station is Tri-Rail’s own, on its own terms — so most people arrive on foot, by bus or by connecting train.

Around the station
The setting is functional rather than scenic: rail yards, warehouses and light industry on the eastern side of Hialeah. The residential streets, bakeries and shops of central Hialeah are one stop away on the Green Line, and Northside is the next station in the direction of downtown. There are no major attractions within walking distance and few places to sit indoors, so if you are connecting between the two railroads it is worth checking the schedules in advance rather than planning to fill an hour here.

Frequently asked questions
Tri-Rail runs north along the coast through Broward and Palm Beach counties, serving Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton and West Palm Beach among others. This Metrorail station is the standard transfer point between the two systems for riders coming from central and southern Miami-Dade.
Yes. Metrorail and Tri-Rail are operated by different agencies with their own fares, so a Metrorail ride of $2.25 one-way does not cover the Tri-Rail leg. Buy the Tri-Rail portion separately before boarding.
Not in a Metrorail car park: Miami-Dade lists no Metrorail parking at this station, and the lot beside it belongs to Tri-Rail. If you are driving to catch a train, Okeechobee and Palmetto further up the Green Line have far more room.
The Green Line is the only Metrorail service at this station, giving a train roughly every ten to fifteen minutes on weekdays and about every twenty at weekends. Build that gap into any connection you are making.
