What is the MIA Mover at the Miami International Airport?

The MIA Mover is designed to quickly transport landside passengers between Miami International Airport's Main Terminal and the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC).



The MIA Mover is a free, 1.27-mile automated people mover system that connects Miami International Airport's main terminal to the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC). Located on the third floor between the Flamingo and Dolphin parking garages, this sleek, driverless train runs 24/7 and takes approximately three to four minutes to reach the transit hub. The MIC is the critical link for travelers as it houses the Consolidated Rental Car Center, as well as connections to the Metrorail, Tri-Rail, and Greyhound buses. In 2026, the MIA Mover has become even more central to the city's infrastructure as it now facilitates access to the nearby Miami Freedom Park, home to the Inter Miami CF stadium. Using the mover is significantly faster than the old shuttle bus system and provides a stress-free transition from the airport's "sterile" gates to the city's various ground transportation networks.
