Thank you for this! I'm doing a solo trip to Miami and need all the help I can get!

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Happy to help, Brooke! A solo trip to Miami sounds fun and exciting!

Great video! Sitting in South Beach right now 😎 got here easily on the bus and saved a bunch of 💵 thanks 🙏🏾

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Yesss!! 👏🏽 I absolutely love this for you! Live it up and enjoy South Beach to the fullest! 🏖️ 😁

[@AnnnnnaQ]

This video was BEYOND informative! It helped me make up my mind to definitely get a hotel with the airport shuttle! 🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Yaaayy! That’s so kind, Anna 😁 Glad it could help 😊🎉❤️

[@stephanieh5478]

You two are such calm souls!

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Thank you Stephanie, that’s really kind 😊

[@stephanieh5478]

They say the best way to get to know your partner is to travel with them and I feel like y’all aced it! :) I’m currently sitting at the O’Hare airport (Chicago) heading to Miami and was planning on taking the 150 bus! However, the airline recently notified me that our flight is delayed so I won’t be getting there until 9pm. I don’t know how I feel about being on public transportation at night. . Maybe Uber/Lyft might be my best bet! **shrug**

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Agreed! Traveling with someone else will bring out your true self 😂 Thankfully I’ve got a good one 😉 I’m so sorry for your flight delay, that’s never fun. How are you managing the time? I’d also think about maybe taking an Uber at night- the bus is great but I like to see where I’m going!

[@stephanieh5478]

You sure do! I’ll be visiting Italy next month with a friend and I’m a little nervous to see how they act under pressure😅 My flight went from 2:25-6:39pm to 4:52-9:06pm. I’m pretty bummed out since I wanted to arrive close to the hotel check-in time. . As long as I get there before midnight 😆

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Oooo, an international trip adds an extra layer to everything - I’ll be rooting for you two! You’ve got this 💪🏽 👏🏽 Getting to MIA before midnight is an achievable goal 😁 Safe travels and enjoy yourself in warm, sunny Miami!

[@David_Canada557]

Love you both. Great display of your temperament while things don’t right (missing the bus)Thank you and well done for showing how you buy the metro pass 🙌👍

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Thank you, David 😊 Things happen while traveling and you have to just go with the flow sometimes, lol 😂

[@omega250]

Thank you for this vid! the good and bad it was informative for my future South Beach travel!

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed!

[@AdiccionLillyput]

Thanks for share this information 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️

[@surfsideRox]

Thank you for the great review!

[@FrolicAndCourage]

You’re welcome Ian! Are you planning to go to Miami soon?

[@princessingrid09]

Hello! 305 Girl here, it would be easier to get the $5 MDT ticket. But $2.25 one way would be fine. You could also take MetroRail to Gov Center and then take bus to S Beach. Always remember to plan your trip accordingly if youre going to take public transportation, because airports sometimes are not as helpful

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Love the tips, Ingrid! Thank you! 🙏 😊

[@HanjalalUddin]

Love your review

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Thanks for watching Hanjalal! I appreciate it 😊

You’re welcome 😇 thanks for watching Ronda!

[@jar26649]

Very helpful, as we will be in Miami next week and we were wondering how the bus worked.

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Thanks for watching Jenny! I hope you w joy your time in Miami 😁❤️👍🏽

[@Aiijuin]

This was incredibly helpful. Thank you! I’m going to Ft. Lauderdale on Jan. 11th, 2020, but I’ve booked the Brightline into Miami on Jan. 13th. I’m not coming from MIA, but I was curious about the Metrobus and the Metromover. Your video helped a lot with understanding how the Easy pass works. It’s looks similar to NYC’s metro pass, where the card must be purchased and then loaded as needed with the choice of fares.

[@FrolicAndCourage]

I’m so glad I could help, Aliyah 😊 The easy pass is very similar to NYC’s metro pass- just load money on it then ride! I hope you have a fabulous trip to FL!! ❤️👍🏽

[@miamihurricane555]

The county transit payment system has been updated so you can just tap your debit or credit card with the digital wallet also working

[@debralopez1274]

Thank uu, I will do that

[@evabrown9773]

Thank you!

[@FrolicAndCourage]

You’re welcome Eva! Have a great trip!

[@deesong6722]

You two are too cute. Thank you for the video!

[@FrolicAndCourage]

You are so kind, Dee!! Thanks for watching! 🥰👍🏾😊

[@trevornelson7312]

I agree with Dee, this was extremely helpful to me, and you are too cute. Thanks again

[@anbottle765]

You could take the J bus to south beach to

[@jess_lynn989]

MIA movers to metro bus 150 tp Collin’s Ave

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Thanks, Jess!

[@dogbsas]

I live in Miami. You really need a car visiting here if you are coming to go to the beach, outlets and visit around. If you will stay in one area only ok....use the public transportation but be aware, this is not NY, we do not have subways that take you everywhere :) I watched the video bcause I want to learn ways to get to the airport from my house without my car, in case I travel and I dont want to pay 30box to an uber or 100 in airport's parking if I travel for a couple days. Thank u for the vid guys

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Thanks for watching Mon! You’re spot on - Miami doesn’t have the public transport as NY, DC, London, or even Paris. A car 🚗 (or at least an ride-sharing app) is needed a majority of the time!

[@jordanoei8798]

Is it's 1 ticket that can work for any bus/train/mover?, thanks for the video, helped a lot.

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Hey Jordan 👋🏽 we loaded cash on our card and it worked for any Miami transit area metrobus or metro rail train. The mover will give you a free ride through different parts of the airport. Here’s a bit more info about the east card if you want to look into it: www.miamidade.gov/global/service.page?Mduid_service=ser1519766209086486 Hope this helps!

[@aymanelbeik1202]

Can we use easycard on bus from Miami south beach to Miami downtown ?

[@longhaired93]

can I ask q question, and it will sound idiotic. 😆 I did this a few months ago, and when it was time to leave, I came back from the Lincoln rd mall bus stop, back to the airport. I got on the ground level elevator to the 3rd floor. I remember that part. But for the life of me, I cannot remember getting on the MIA mover. It's only logical that you have to take it back to the main airport, right- Doing it in reverse. I only did this once and its bugging me! Yes I take a lot of pain meds but thats another story🥴😭 Thank you in advance

[@phillippugh2161]

wow thanks for the tip .....but thats a lot of walking i think id have taking the uber are cab

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Thanks for watching Phillip! Miami is awesome because they offer affordable alternatives…but of course the walk is serious, lol!

[@ndubstar]

Thorough video. Helps. Thanks. Nyc. La. Siimilar.

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Thanks for watching ndubstar! Once you’ve navigated through one major city 🗺 the rest seem to get easier 😊❤️

[@DavidWilliams-qr5yj]

I know you're on a budget. But you're walking a long distance with bags and having to take the Mover and then the bus. Lyft from the airport directly to your hotel in South Beach will cost you $20 for both people. You don't have to Lug your bags walking you can just get in the car and 20 minutes later you are at your hotel exactly how much money did you save? As well as your safety you can slip and fall or you can get mugged it can happen. If there's more than one of you. An Uber or lift is the way to go with bags to and from the airport

[@kristianmicanovic9339]

I'll rather suffer for 15 minutes and pay 2.50 instead of 20$🤡

[@dianagomez7914]

HI!! where exactly can i get the the 150 MB ticket bus? gracias

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Hi Diana! We picked up our ticket at the kiosks on the second level of the bus station, next to the info booth.

[@dianagomez7914]

@@FrolicAndCourage 😊😊😊 great help!!!

[@guzmangonzalez9922]

very funny

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Haha, thanks for watching Guzman 😁

[@nellyebk1738]

$10 for both bus cards vs $20 for the Uber. I’d pay the little extra to skip that entire hassle wow 3 mile walking and all them stops sheeeeee

[@FrolicAndCourage]

It would def avoid the allll the walking…but it would be perfect if you’re trying to get in 10,00 steps/day 😂🚶🏾

[@armandosanchez857]

Why zip code

[@cptbusstop92]

Billing zip code for the debit/credit card is typical for verification and security

[@edwardellwanger2603]

Its $5:00 not 2:68.

[@lextacy2008]

Easier way is to move to Florida and forget about flying.

[@FrolicAndCourage]

LOL 😂 that is def the best option!!

[@playboymaxim]

I'd rather just rent a car LOL

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Haha, that’s definitely one mode of transportation in Miami that should be less complicated 😂 🚗

[@playboymaxim]

@@FrolicAndCourage Then you only have to deal with traffic and maniac drivers lol! Just left there a couple of weeks ago, actually flew into Ft. Lauderdale and stayed right by Miami airport

[@leklekjasmine416]

I'm using uber lol

[@yvonnetomasic1144]

Why. Cant you just. Give a phone number.
