Miami Tri-Rail
If you are going to be traveling in Miami in the state of Florida, chances are that you will probably use the Tri-Rail to get around in the city sometime.
Almost every major Miami travel guide lists the Tri-Rail as one of the premier means of transport in the city of
Miami. Miami travel deals do not always include transport facilities and hence the Tri-Rail can prove to be extremely useful.
Tri-Rail was established in 1989 for about $75 million and services were controlled and maintained by the Tri-Country Commuter Rail Authority. After 2003, the SFRTA (South Florida Regional Transportation Authority) has carried out this function. The Tri-Rail saw an increase in the number of passengers by about 10.2% in 2007 after one year.

The Tri-Rail service is considered to be an experience that makes every passenger's journey memorable due to its extreme convenience, affordability and reliability. Passengers can travel from Miami to West Palm Beach comfortably, any day of the week.
Every passenger must buy the ticket before they board the train as they cannot be purchased once you are on board. If inspectors find you without a ticket, a fine ranging from $50 to $1000 may be charged along with possible arrest.
Passengers are not allowed to smoke in the Tri-Rail trains. Food and Drinks are usually not permitted whereas alcohol is not allowed on any Tri-Rail train.
