The South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA) introduced a new Tri-Rail express train service starting July 1.
The addition will offer passengers a seamless one-seat ride to and from Downtown Miami, significantly reducing travel time between the West Palm Beach and MiamiCentral stations.
The New Miami Express Train
The express train will depart from the West Palm Beach Station at 6:30 a.m., with strategically limited stops at the Boca Raton Station, Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport Station at Dania Beach, and the Metrorail Transfer Station, before arriving at MiamiCentral Station at 8:05 a.m.
In the evening, the return express train will depart MiamiCentral at 5:35 p.m., providing commuters with a convenient and expedited journey home.
"We are thrilled to unveil this new enhancement to our train service,” said Dave Dech, executive director. “By offering a one-seat ride and reducing travel time, we aim to provide an enhanced commuting experience for our passengers and attract new riders to Tri-Rail."
The new express trains will be a one-seat ride, not requiring passengers to disembark to connect to shuttle trains that go in and out of MiamiCentral Station. The express train’s schedule also cuts the time to get between West Palm Beach and Miami by more than 30 minutes.
Tri-Rail Maintaining Business as Usual
Tri-Rail remains committed to maintaining its current schedule, with 26 trains operating on weekdays and 23 trains on weekends for MiamiCentral, ensuring continued connectivity with Downtown Miami, with all non-express trains still transferring at the Metrorail Transfer Station.
Passengers traveling to and from Miami Airport Station will also benefit from a later departure time, accommodating increased airport traffic and catering to the needs of airport employees working late shifts.
As part of the contract, the AECOM-LiRo NYPennT Joint Venture will work with Amtrak and the selected Master Developer to completely transform Penn Station, improving safety and operational efficiency, making the system more family-friendly, accommodating increased train and passenger capacity, and delivering a world-class experience to its growing passenger base, according to Amtrak officials.
