Hello, this is your tour guide.

Welcome to Miami. Year round sunshine and plenty of entertainment options for work or play.

Getting from Miami International Airport (MIA) to downtown Miami is very straightforward. With Miami Airport located so close to downtown and the beach, getting from the airport to downtown Miami is a breeze. With a fast Metro system and express buses to choose form

So before you land, check out the variety of ways to get from MIA to downtown Miami. From the fastest, to the least expensive, there are plenty of options to choose from.

Fastest, Cheapest & Most Direct: Metrorail

Miami’s Metrorail (metro system) offers direct service from the airport. Starting with the MIA Mover (located on the 3rd level between the Dolphin and Flamingo garage) ride to Miami Intermodal Center. This massive transportation hub connects rapid transit and commuter rail services in the Miami metropolitan area. To mix in some confusion - the Metrorail station is signed as Miami International Airport a bit as a misnomer as the station is not within the airport complex. Board the Metrorail’s Orange Line to Government Center Station - the main intermodal complex for downtown Miami. From here, connect with one of the many Loop Lines to reach your final destination within downtown Miami.

Fare is approximately $2.50.

Honorable Mention: Miami-Dade Transit Metrobus

For those heading to the beach consider Metrobus 150 (Miami Beach Airport Express). This express service skips downtown Miami and heads directly to Miami Beach, stopping frequently between Mid Beach and South Beach. Prefect if you want to head from Miami Airport to Miami Beach non-stop

Routes 7, 37, 57, and 338 offer local bus service from Miami Airport (via Miami Intermodal Center) to downtown Miami.

Fare is approximately $2.25.

Most Semi-Private: Shuttles

Some hotel shuttle services from the airport to hotels in downtown Miami and along Miami Beach. All are located at the Arrivals (Level 1) Area within defined zones. Learn more here.

Most Private: Taxi / Ride Share

Undoubtedly, the most expensive option from our list but the most private. In addition to taxis, Uber and Lyft offer private rideshare services from the airport. Travel time is approximately 15-20 minutes. Expect to pay about $20 for a ride.

Prices are accurate as of January 2025.

Welcome to Ottawa! Canada’s Capital. If you’re looking for the best way to get from Ottawa Macdonald–Cartier International Airport to downtown Ottawa we have you covered.

Being a smaller international airport, options are limited but straightforward. With the newly opened O-Train Airport link to get from YOW to downtown Ottawa being a great option.

Most Private: Taxi / Ride Share

Fastest: O-Train Lines 4 / 2 / 1 Train

OC Transpo’s newly completed O-Train extension to Ottawa International Airport has been a long anticipated project. Now that the train extends to Ottawa Airport, travellers can now ride from YOW to downtown Ottawa in about 30 minutes. Unfortunately, you have to change trains twice along the journey to downtown Ottawa. In essence, ride Lines 4 then 2 followed by 1 to reach downtown Ottawa.

Starting at Airport Station take 4 Airport Link to South Keys Station. Change trains with a very convenient cross platform walk to connect to 2 Trillium Line and ride to the northern terminus at Bayview Station. Finally, ride 1 Confederation Line eastwards towards downtown Ottawa. There is no central train station in Ottawa but Parliament Station (located a block away from Parliament Hill) is your best bet along with Rideau Station next to the famous ByWard Market, Major's Hill Park and Rideau Canal.

If you’re looking for some fun in the sun - Orlando is the place to be. Year round sunshine and plenty of entertainment options to get your mind off the daily grind.

Getting from Orlando International Airport (MCO) to downtown Orlando is not as straightforward at first glance. For many, your final destination after arriving at Orlando Airport is to head to one of the massive resorts, theme parks, or for a convention. Few of which are downtown. Unfortunately there is no direct rail connection from Orlando Airport to downtown. There are plans to extend SunRail to Orlando International Airport but no shovels are in the ground just yet. Brightline travels from MCO eastward away from Orlando towards West Palm Beach and finally to Miami. Unfortunately Brightline doesn’t travel from MCO to downtown Orlando.

In the meantime, check out the variety of ways to get from MCO to downtown Orlando. From the fastest, to the least expensive, there are plenty of options to choose from.

Most Direct and Cheapest: LYNX Bus 11 / 51

Oralndo’s LYNX Buses 11 and 51 both offer direct, local service from MCO to downtown Orlando. You can catch the LYNX Bus from the Ground Transportation Level of Terminal A. Keep in mind that these buses are meant for workers commuting to and from Orlando Airport - so no express service. Both routes (11 & 51) drastically vary and run through Orlando’s suburbs. Be prepared for multiple stops on the way to LYNX Central Station, the main intermodal terminal in downtown Orlando. Connections to SunRail and the majority of LYNX's bus transit network.

Honorable Mention: LYNX Bus 311 to SunRail

Unfortunately, SunRail (Orlando’s commuter railroad) doesn’t run to the airport - yet. The lack of direct transfer to Brightline’s newly opened Airport station is another missed connection.

What’s great about LYNX Bus 311 is the express, non stop service from MCO to SunRail - perfect for travelers coming off that flight.
