So, You Want to Ride the Magic Miami Bus? How Much Does This Bad Boy Cost?
Let's face it, Miami's a hot city, literally and figuratively. You're here to soak up the sun, explore vibrant neighborhoods, and maybe even snag a celebrity selfie (no promises). But cruising around in a chauffeured chariot can get pricey, faster than you can say "South Beach."
Enter the Miami bus system, your wallet's new best friend. But before you hop on and pretend you're in a music video (guilty!), a question burns brighter than the Florida sun: how much does this bus ride cost?
Brace Yourself for This Shockingly Low Number...
QuickTip: Focus on what feels most relevant.
We won't keep you in suspense any longer. A single ride on a Miami bus will set you back a cool $2.25. That's like, two fancy coffees, or maybe one if you have expensive taste buds (no judgement). That's right, for the price of a fancy latte, you can explore a whole new part of Miami!
But Wait, There's More! (Because There Always Is)
QuickTip: Pause when something clicks.
Feeling like a baller on a budget? Here are some ways to squeeze even more value out of your Miami bus adventure:

- The EASY Card - This little lifesaver is a reloadable fare card that lets you tap and ride. Not only is it convenient, but it also comes with a daily fare cap of $5.65. That means after your third ride, all your other trips that day are FREE. Boom! You can find EASY Cards at select stations or snag one virtually through the GO Miami-Dade Transit app.
- The South Beach Local - Feeling extra thrifty? Hop on the South Beach Local for a measly $0.25. Cruise the iconic streets and soak up the scene for pennies on the dollar (figuratively speaking, they don't accept pennies on the bus).
