Starting today: TriRail service directly to the Miami Airport

From an article in the Sun Sentinel, an easy way to catch a flight:

     Catching a flight at Miami International Airport? Getting there by train from Broward and Palm Beach counties is about to get a lot easier.
     On Sunday morning, Tri-Rail will begin running commuter trains into a $92 million station that's just east of the airport. From there, it's a five-minute ride aboard a people mover to the terminal.
     Travelers will no longer have to schlep their luggage off trains at Hialeah and then board shuttles which must fight traffic to the airport. The change should save between 15 to 20 minutes – more if there are traffic jams or accidents on surrounding roads.

The Tri-Rail website is very user-friendly—check it out for yourself. Let's say you have a weekday 10:30 a.m. flight to catch at the Miami Airport and you're departing from the Lake Worth station: Tri-Rail suggests you get to the station 20 minutes ahead of schedule: be at the Lake Worth Tri-Rail Station at 6:30; train P611 leaves at 6:56 and arrives in Miami at 8:35 (99 minutes); the cost is $6.90.

No worry about traffic, parking, shuttles, or cabs. How cool is that?
