Tri-Rail has released ridership information for its new one seat ride into downtown Miami.
The service launched in July 2024, with a weekday southbound morning train and a northbound evening train.
Passengers can remain on the same train out of downtown Miami, with limited stops on the ride to West Palm Beach.
Ridership on the express service is now averaging 450 round-trip passengers a day and often tops 500.
Tri-Rail first began service to downtown Miami’s MiamiCentral in January 2024, but a transfer was required. That service had reached 300 passengers per day by March 2024.
Overall, Tri-Rail trains have been averaging 15,000 weekday daily riders since 2024, with an average of 385,000 passengers a month in 2025 (up 2% over the previous year).
As of the first quarter of 2025, the three busiest Tri-Rail stations are:
- Miami Airport
- Metrorail Transfer Station
- Fort Lauderdale Airport
