About Miami International Airport

Miami International Airport is the western terminus of the Orange Line and the point where Metrorail meets the airport. The station forms part of the Miami Intermodal Center, a large transportation complex east of the runways, and it is joined to the terminals by the MIA Mover, a free automated people mover that runs continuously between the two.

Trains depart for downtown roughly every fifteen minutes and reach Government Center in about fifteen minutes, which comfortably beats driving in at rush hour. Weekends work differently and it is worth knowing before you land: the Orange Line stops running through and becomes a two-stop shuttle between the airport and Earlington Heights, where every passenger changes to a Green Line train to continue. Allow extra time for that transfer. The station itself has no parking.

  • Miami Intermodal Center. Intercity buses, rental cars and Tri-Rail share the same building.

Around the station

What surrounds this station is the Miami Intermodal Center rather than a neighborhood. The Rental Car Center is part of the same complex, as are the Tri-Rail station serving Broward and Palm Beach counties and the bays used by regional and intercity buses. The airport terminals are a short MIA Mover ride away. Beyond the complex lie cargo yards, airport hotels and industrial blocks — functional rather than walkable, and not somewhere to explore on foot with luggage. Most travelers are better off staying inside the intermodal building until their onward connection is ready.

Next and previous stations

Weekends: the Orange Line is an airport shuttle onlyOn Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, Orange Line service is limited to a two-stop Airport Shuttle between Miami International Airport and Earlington Heights, every 15 minutes. To carry on into downtown Miami, Brickell or Dadeland, transfer to the Green Line at Earlington Heights. You will land, ride two stops, and change trains. Budget an extra 10 minutes for the connection.
