Hialeah rail trips start at the Metrorail Transfer Station
Hialeah's Metrorail Transfer Station connects Tri-Rail with Miami-Dade Metrorail and Metrobus. Check each system's live schedule, fare, alert, and last connection.
One Hialeah station can put two transit systems into the same trip.
Tri-Rail’s Metrorail Transfer Station connects the regional rail line with Miami-Dade Metrorail and Metrobus. The station page also lists parking, ticket machines, and local connection options. Those pieces are useful, but each belongs to a different schedule and service system.
Start with the destination and the first train. Then check the transfer station, the second line or bus, the fare or payment method, service alerts, and the walk from the final stop. Check the return trip at the same time. A late arrival can miss the last useful connection even when both systems are still running.
Parking at the station does not remove the need to check the train. A saved timetable does not show today’s delay, elevator issue, or platform notice. Use Tri-Rail for the station and regional train details, then use Miami-Dade Transit for the Metrorail or bus part of the trip.
That two-source habit makes the station easier to use. It also gives a clearer comparison with driving, parking at the destination, or arranging a ride for one end of the trip.
