One-seat bus ride from MIA to Miami Beach for $2.25
Metrobus Route 150 Airport Flyer runs from Miami International Airport to Miami Beach for the standard Miami-Dade Transit fare, currently around $2.25 per ride. The route gives you a single, no-transfer trip from the airport straight to key spots along Miami Beach, which is rare at MIA where many options require a transfer downtown. It’s a city bus, so expect regular seats and luggage in the aisle, not coach-style overhead bins.
The 150 stops at the airport’s Central Terminal, with signage for “Airport Flyer 150” near the Miami Intermodal Center and airport bus bays. Service typically starts early morning and runs into the late evening, with headways around 20–30 minutes during much of the day. You can board with a contactless EASY Card, EASY Ticket, or exact cash; drivers generally do not make change, so bring small bills if you’re paying cash.
On the Miami Beach side, Route 150 runs along 41st Street, Collins Avenue, and Washington Avenue, hitting spots around South Beach, Mid-Beach, and the 41st Street corridor. Travel time from MIA to South Beach usually lands around 35–50 minutes, depending on traffic on SR-112 and I-195. If your hotel sits several blocks off Collins or Washington, plan on a short walk or a quick rideshare from your stop.
Buses used on the Airport Flyer normally have front and rear doors and a low-floor layout, which helps when you’re hauling a 23 kg checked bag plus a carry-on. That said, this is still a regular transit bus with limited dedicated luggage space, and the aisle can get crowded when a full flight from the North or South Terminal dumps out at once. Seats go fast near MIA during midday peaks and around late-evening arrival banks.
If you land at MIA and want the 150, follow signs for “Public Transit / Metrobus” from the North, Central, or South terminal areas and budget at least 10–15 minutes to walk, reach the bus bay, and buy or load an EASY Card. One simple rule: if your group has more than three people, quickly compare the total 150 fare against a rideshare quote before committing, but solo travelers and pairs usually win on cost with the Airport Flyer.
