Orange Line Offers $2.25 Rides to Miami Airport
Paragraph 1
Miami-Dade County travelers can reach Miami International Airport via Metrorail's Orange Line for just $2.25 per trip, transit officials said. The service operates every 15 minutes between Dadeland South and Earlington Heights stations, with direct access to the airport station. Riders from areas north of Earlington Heights can transfer from the Green Line to connect with airport service.
Paragraph 2
The Orange Line provides a cost-effective alternative to parking fees and ride-hailing services for airport travelers, according to Miami-Dade Transit. Metrorail operates seven days a week from 5 a.m. to midnight, giving passengers consistent access throughout most travel hours. The 15-minute frequency means riders don't face long waits between trains. Transit agencies nationwide have prioritized airport connections as essential links that serve both residents and visitors.
Paragraph 3
Passengers can pay the $2.25 fare through multiple methods, including the EASY Card, contactless payment, and mobile options. The transit system accepts payment through ticket vending machines at all stations. For travelers who prefer to drive to Metrorail stations, parking costs $4.50 at ticket vending machines or $4.77 through the PayByPhone app. Parking is reserved exclusively for Miami-Dade Transit customers who board Metrorail or Metrobus services.
Paragraph 4
Parking garages at Metrorail stations operate from 5 a.m. to 1 a.m., officials said. Overnight parking is permitted at three locations: Earlington Heights, Okeechobee, and South Miami garages. The Earlington Heights parking garage remains accessible 24 hours a day for travelers with early morning or late-night flights.
Paragraph 5
The $2.25 airport fare offers significant savings compared to parking at the airport or using other transportation options. Travelers should plan their trips accounting for Metrorail's operating hours, which end at midnight. Moovit provides real-time Orange Line schedules and trip planning for passengers heading to Miami International Airport.
