Miami to West Palm Beach via Public Transportation for $7.25

West Palm Beach is a popular destination in South Florida. It is famous for its boats, restaurants, Clematis Street and The Square. In this video, I show how it is possible to get there with public transportation from Downtown Miami for $7.25. I start at the Bayfront Park Metromover station, transfer to the Metrorail at Government Center, and then take the Tri-Rail commuter train at the Tri-Rail/Metrorail Transfer Station to West Palm Beach.

tip: The Miami metro is a fully elevated subway system (Or metro hence its name) Tri rail is a commuter rail and the metromover is an APM automated people mover.

[@luislaplume8261]

As a New Yorker I can vouch that our subway system is mostly underground with a few El lines that were shared by subway and el trains from 1905 til 1969, when the lower half of the Myrtle Ave el was abandoned. It joined the subway trains north of Myrtle Ave and Broadway in Brooklyn. My late father worked 1 block away from the junction on the late shift from evening to sunrise the next day.

39:10 Adding another transit card to your collection! 😁 It'll be fun if you can share a picture of all the transit cards you've purchased throughout your travels. 😃 You're so awesome and patient for creating these dedicated public transportation videos. 😎 Public transportation is not as convenient, but $7.25 is bargain if one is not in a rush. Thank you for sharing this informative and relaxing train ride, AK! 🤗

[@fredredmon5828]

Okay AK I really am glad you posted this recorded video I am thoroughly enjoying it this is your bright line reporter in Orlando lol. Orlando is nowhere near what South Florida is but we are trying The Tri-Rail you are on we have the exact same thing here runs through four counties Volusia Seminole orange and Osceola from DeBary to poinciana which is south of Kissimmee it is called SunRail matter of fact I think they got the idea from Tri-Rail and I believe they bought their locomotives and passenger cars from Tri-Rail looks just like them. I'm about halfway through this video watching on my TV set really a great job looks like you're ready for bright line lol I really enjoy videos like this great job

[@ActionKid]

Really cool! I'm looking forward for the Brightline to open service to Orlando!

[@TheDAT573]

Thank you for another wonderful video, Action Kid.

[@ActionKid]

My pleasure, thanks for watching!

[@see-the-world]

Looove it! Another awesome video - I like how you film all different types of videos. Thank you!

[@brucedahms4508]

Another great video journey! Many thanks! This got me reminiscing about my trips 50+ years ago back to college by bus, travelling from Boston to Bangor, Maine. I still remember the stops along Rte. 1: Portsmouth, Portland, Brunswick, Bath, Thomaston, Rockland, Camden, Belfast, Bucksport - "Change here for Ellsworth, Bar Harbor, and Eastport" - Winterport, and Bangor where we'd see how many students we could fit into a taxi for the trip out to the University in Orono.

[@ActionKid]

It sounds like you had quite the adventure in your early years Thanks for watching!

[@drewh3224]

That train is massive and heavy!!

[@ActionKid]

It really is!

[@Neville60001]

@@ActionKid, the government of Florida needs to do what the government of California is doing and convert their commuter rail system(s) to electric operation; the transit would be much faster (and less bulky) than what Tri Rail is now.

[@dissidentfairy4264]

I was curious about your question regarding a high-rise versus a skyscraper, so I looked it up and now we have the answer. A high-rise has 13 floors and above. A skyscraper has to have 40 floors and above. Then they have low-rise and mid-rise. I'm assuming that maybe buildings 5-6 stories would be called a low-rise and buildings maybe 7-12 stories mid-rise? It can get rather confusing! lol Anyway, thanks for the ride Action Kid, it was fun:-)

[@david1george]

A skyscraper does not have to have 40 floors to be called a skyscraper because office and commercial buildings usually have much higher ceilings than residential buildings which would could confuse the distinction. Engineering practice is the distinction for a skyscraper is 496' or higher. Take, for instance, Downtown Detroit around where I live. They have 8 skyscrapers with a 9th one on the way. The Cadillac Tower is 40 stories, but only 438' (NOT a skyscraper). But, all 5 towers of the GM HQ Ren Cen are skyscrapers (the 4 office towers are 522', but only 39 stories tall). BTW the center Marriot hotel for the Ren Center is 73 stories, but only 727' high. Notice how the office towers in the Ren Cen average 13' high floors, but the Marriot hotel has less than avg. 10' high floors.

[@dissidentfairy4264]

@@david1george I get what you're saying and it makes sense but I was only going by what the internet says defines a skyscraper. Whether the information posted online is incorrect I can't say, but I do understand that a 40-story building with 16' ceilings is going to be twice as high in feet compared to a building with mostly 8' ceilings.

[@TheTransitChannel]

Great video Ken! I really love Tri-Rail! I'm hoping to try it out some day!

[@FaLO66traintravels]

Me too!!

[@ActionKid]

Glad you enjoyed it! Tri-Rail actually runs pretty well!

Awesome ride. Beautiful train. I will have to ride!!!! Thank you.

You're welcome, the train works pretty well!

[@alexandrabos8203]

Great video! This helps me and my family a lot, as we will be traveling to the US soon and taking the Trirail from Miami airport to West Palm Beach. Is there a toilet on the train?

[@dannyleo4791]

The Miami Metrorail, also known as the Train to Nowhere. It actually does go somewhere (the poorest and worst parts of the city lmao)

[@litewatch]

Looks quite simple to transfer from one train to another! Heck it looked easier than the NYC Subway And I from NYC!!! Quite non crowded

[@gojeda]

Civic Center is the 2nd largest hospital district in the US (#1 is in Houston).

[@ActionKid]

Very cool to know!

[@nayanpanchal39]

Great video AK

[@ActionKid]

Thanks!

[@Erlika-Moreno]

As a person in Miami I can confirm that seeing a metro rail or tri rail and freight train is incredibly normal

[@jeanpaulmondesir5323]

Tri-Rail is coming to the downtown Brightline station this year.

[@september16girl]

Is there a shuttle to the Palm beach airport from the trail rail station?

[@Goophyass]

A 17 min frequency for a station being served by two metro lines crazy (edit: i would like to recognize and appreciate how cheap the fare is for the entire trip tho!)

[@R262SubwayTrain]

Because of the Service Changes

bright line is private, expensive. They could have gotten a public train in 2009 but refused.

[@gregsage8886]

Republicans suck they don't want to help miami

[@ActionKid]

Very true!

[@Goophyass]

If there's a public good that needs to be provided in Florida you KNOW it's going to be filled by a for profit agency, lest we fall victim to the perils of socialism!!!!!/jk

[@mauricethompson2764]

How do they know you paid for the train, seems like in the video it’s easy to just hop on….. please let me know

[@Goophyass]

I'm not sure about Tri rail, but usually in proof of payment systems they conduct random ticket checks with fees if you don't have one.

[@Erlika-Moreno]

But brightline is rare here somehow

[@luislaplume8261]

Miami Metro Rail is the L train system for Miami. Like the Chicago L is for Chicago.

[@mauric99]

Public transportation in South Florida is the worst...that's why most people drive here in Miami

[@R262SubwayTrain]

It not the worst the Northern part of Florida is the worst

[@Goophyass]

I used to live near Griffin road and I was gobsmacked finding out that there are no through running bus lines on that stroad, like a bus from Davie or Weston to the beach feels like the easiest line to make. Not to mention that Weston, a city of 67k only has one 'bus' line (they run a minibus for that route) that only runs on weekdays twice a day. But God forbid rich people see any form of public transit.

[@fistandantalasmajere1671]

i wish southern florida would develop inland more and not just east of federal.

Idk I don't quite think it's the right course of action to further encroach into the Everglades

I taught gymnastics for children whose parents lived in Atherton. Some of the worst people on planet earth. They would ask a question, and when you answered they snuffed at you. Never said thank you and barely even acknowledged us peons as human beings. Also extremely cheap. If there was a raise in class prices, they’d have a fit.
