Can you take the metro to Miami airport?

You can use Metrorail to travel to and from the Miami International Airport. Once at the University Metrorail Station take the Orange Line (northbound) to get to Miami International Airport.



Yes, you can take the Miami Metrorail directly to Miami International Airport (MIA) using the Orange Line. This dedicated service connects the airport with major hubs like Downtown Miami, Brickell, Coral Gables, and Dadeland. To reach the terminal, you take the Orange Line to the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC), which is the airport’s main transportation hub. From the MIC, you simply transfer to the MIA Mover, a free automated people mover that whisks you to the airport terminal in about four minutes. In 2026, the Metrorail remains a highly cost-effective option at approximately $2.25 per trip. It is important to ensure you board an Orange Line train, as the Green Line serves different destinations in North Miami. For travelers arriving from Fort Lauderdale or West Palm Beach, the Tri-Rail commuter service also terminates at the MIC, providing a seamless rail connection to the airport via the same MIA Mover system.
