Which Miami trolley goes to the port of Miami?

The only public transit that goes directly to PortMiami is the City of Miami's Coral Way Route Trolley.



The Coral Way Route of the City of Miami Trolley is the primary free trolley service that connects downtown Miami to the Port of Miami. Specifically, the trolley provides service along the Biscayne Boulevard corridor and includes stops near the Port of Miami bridge. For those specifically trying to reach the cruise terminals, the City of Miami Trolley's "Port of Miami" loop (often labeled as the "Coral Way" line with Port extension) is the most direct free option. In 2026, the city has expanded these routes to include more frequent stops at major transit hubs like Government Center. It is important to note that while the trolley is a great "budget" option, it does not always drop off directly at every individual cruise terminal; you may still have a short walk from the entrance of the port. For a more direct experience, many travelers still prefer the Miami-Dade Transit Route 100 or rideshare services like Uber and Lyft, which are permitted to drive directly to the specific ship's embarkation area.
