Is Miami Metromover free?

The best thing about using this public transport option is that everybody rides free on the Metromover. There is no need to buy a pass or ticket. Just wait for the car to come around and hop on. This makes staying in Downtown Miami or Brickell a cinch when you are out exploring the city.



Yes, the Miami Metromover remains a fare-free automated people mover system in 2026. Operated by Miami-Dade Transit, it serves the Downtown Miami, Brickell, Park West, and Arts & Entertainment District neighborhoods. The system is a vital link for commuters and tourists, connecting directly with the paid Metrorail at Government Center and Brickell stations. The decision to keep the system free is based on the fact that the cost of collecting fares would nearly exceed the revenue generated, and a free loop encourages greater use of the broader public transit network. While the ride itself is free, standard fares apply if you transfer to a Metrobus or the Metrorail ($2.25 per trip as of 2026). It operates seven days a week from early morning until midnight, providing a scenic, elevated view of the Miami skyline.
