TRANSPORTATION
Freebee
Freebee is a free on-demand electric shuttle service that operates in several neighborhoods in Miami, including Downtown Miami and Miami Beach. It’s a convenient option for short trips around the area. Monday - Sunday: 10am - 10pm
You can request a ride using the Freebee mobile app. After requesting a ride, a nearby driver will pick you up and take you to your destination within the designated service zone.
Freebee vehicles are small electric carts that can carry multiple passengers and operate similarly to a rideshare service, but at no cost. Since the service runs within specific areas, it’s best used for short trips between venues, hotels, restaurants, and nearby attractions in Downtown and Miami Beach.
Water Taxi
Water Taxi is a free ferry service connecting Miami Beach and Downtown Miami, offering a scenic way to travel across Biscayne Bay. It links South Beach (near South Pointe Park) with Bayside Marketplace in Downtown Miami, making it a convenient option for visitors moving between the beach and the city center.
The service operates on a regular schedule throughout the day, with boats departing from both sides at set times. The ride takes about 10 to 15 minutes, providing views of the Miami skyline, PortMiami, and Biscayne Bay along the way.
Passengers can board at the designated docks in South Beach and Bayside, and the ferry operates on a first-come, first-served basis, so it’s recommended to arrive a few minutes early during busy periods.
The Water Taxi is a comfortable and unique alternative to crossing the causeway by car or rideshare, and it offers a quick connection between Downtown Miami’s entertainment district and the beaches of Miami Beach.
Miami Beach Trolley
Miami Beach Trolley is a free public trolley service that runs throughout Miami Beach, connecting popular areas such as South Beach, Mid-Beach, North Beach, and key commercial districts. It is a convenient way to move around the island without needing a car.
The trolley operates daily with frequent service, typically every 10 to 20 minutes depending on the route and time of day. Several routes run across the city, with stops near beaches, hotels, shopping areas, and major streets like Collins Avenue, Washington Avenue, and Alton Road.
You can track trolley locations and arrival times in real time using the Miami Beach Trolley mobile app or by checking the live tracking map on the city’s website. Electronic displays at some stops also show arrival information.
The trolleys are air-conditioned, wheelchair accessible, and easy to board, making them a comfortable option for getting around Miami Beach while visiting the area.
Metromover
Metromover is a free elevated train system that runs through Downtown Miami and Brickell, making it an easy way to move around the area.
