Is there a free trolley in Miami?

The Trolley is free and accessible to all! If you need assistance with the trolley or schedules, please call 305.416.1132. NOTE: The City of Miami trolley does not go to Miami Beach. If you need to, you can view the Miami Beach Trolley.



Yes, the Miami Trolley is a fantastic and completely free service that operates throughout many of the city's most popular neighborhoods, including Brickell, Coconut Grove, Little Havana, and Wynwood. These trolleys are designed to look "vintage" but are modern, air-conditioned buses that provide a reliable alternative to expensive ride-shares. There are multiple routes that connect with the Metrorail and Metromover, making it possible to navigate a large portion of Miami without spending a dime on transit. In 2026, the trolley system remains a vital part of Miami's "Green Initiative" to reduce car traffic. You can track the trolleys in real-time using the "City of Miami" mobile app or by looking at the digital displays at many stops. While they are free, they can get quite crowded during rush hour, and they do not go all the way to South Beach; for that, you would need to take the "Miami Beach Trolley," which is also free but operates as a separate system on the island. It’s an excellent way for tourists to see the city's diverse culture and architecture while staying on a budget.
