Miami's heavy-rail rapid transit system, [[Metrorail (Miami-Dade County)|Metrorail]], is an elevated system comprising two lines and 23 stations on a {{convert|24.4|mi|km|adj=on}}-long line. Metrorail connects the urban western suburbs of [[Hialeah, Florida|Hialeah]], [[Medley, Florida|Medley]], and inner-city Miami with suburban [[The Roads]], [[Coconut Grove]], [[Coral Gables, Florida|Coral Gables]], [[South Miami]], and urban [[Kendall, Florida|Kendall]] via the central business districts of [[Miami International Airport]], the [[Health District (Miami)|Health District]], and Downtown. A free, elevated [[people mover]], [[Metromover]], operates 21 stations on three different lines in greater Downtown Miami, with a station at roughly every two blocks of Downtown and Brickell. Several expansion projects are being funded by a transit development sales tax surcharge throughout Miami-Dade County.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.miamidade.gov/global/transportation/metrorail.page|title=Metrorail Information|website=Miamidade.gov|access-date=November 19, 2023|archive-date=December 6, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231206145302/https://www.miamidade.gov/global/transportation/metrorail.page|url-status=live}}</ref>

[[Tri-Rail]], a commuter rail system operated by the [[South Florida Regional Transportation Authority]] (SFRTA), runs from [[Miami International Airport]] northward to [[West Palm Beach, Florida|West Palm Beach]], making eighteen stops throughout [[Miami-Dade County|Miami-Dade]], [[Broward County|Broward]], and [[Palm Beach County|Palm Beach]] counties.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.tri-rail.com/|title=Tri-Rail Homepage|website=tri-rail.com|access-date=November 19, 2023|archive-date=November 20, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231120183540/https://www.tri-rail.com/|url-status=live}}</ref>

The [[Miami Intermodal Center]] is a massive transportation hub servicing [[Metrorail (Miami-Dade County)|Metrorail]], [[Amtrak]], [[Tri-Rail]], [[Brightline]], [[Miami-Dade Transit#Metrobus|Metrobus]], [[Greyhound Lines]], [[Taxicab|taxis]], [[rental cars]], [[MIA Mover]], private automobiles, bicycles and pedestrians adjacent to Miami International Airport. Miami Intermodal Center was completed in 2010, and is serving about 150,000 commuters and travelers in the Miami area. Phase I of [[MiamiCentral]] Station was completed in 2012, and the Tri-Rail part of Phase II was completed in 2015, but the construction of the Amtrak part remains delayed.

Two new light rail systems, Baylink and the Miami Streetcar, have been proposed and are currently in the planning stage. BayLink would connect Downtown with [[South Beach]], and the Miami Streetcar would connect Downtown with [[Midtown Miami|Midtown]].

Miami is the southern terminus of [[Amtrak]]'s Atlantic Coast services, running two lines, the [[Silver Meteor]] and the [[Silver Star (Amtrak train)|Silver Star]], both terminating in New York City. The Miami Amtrak Station is located in the suburb of [[Hialeah]] near the [[Tri-Rail and Metrorail transfer station|Tri-Rail/Metrorail Station]] on NW 79 St and NW 38 Ave. Current construction of the Miami Central Station will move all Amtrak operations from its current out-of-the-way location to a centralized location with [[Miami Metrorail|Metrorail]], [[MIA Mover]], [[Tri-Rail]], [[Miami International Airport]], and the [[Miami Intermodal Center]] all within the same station closer to Downtown. The station was expected to be completed by 2012,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Projects: Miami Central Station |url=http://www.micdot.com/miami_central_station.html |access-date=October 30, 2010 |website=Miami Intermodal Center |publisher=Micdot.com |archive-date=February 12, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100212114414/http://www.micdot.com/miami_central_station.html |url-status=live }}</ref> but experienced several delays and was later expected to be completed in late 2014,<ref>{{Cite news |title=Miami airport transit hub on the way to bringing planes, trains, automobiles under one roof |work=Miami Herald |url=http://www.miamiherald.com/2014/05/25/4137303/miami-airport-transit-hub-on-the.html |access-date=August 28, 2014 |archive-date=May 26, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140526024921/http://www.miamiherald.com/2014/05/25/4137303/miami-airport-transit-hub-on-the.html |url-status=live }}</ref> again pushed back to early 2015.<ref name="MICjanuary">{{Cite web |last=Turnbell |first=Michael |date=October 15, 2014 |title=Tri-Rail station at Miami airport delayed until January |url=http://www.sun-sentinel.com/local/broward/fl-tri-rail-miami-airport-20141015-story.html |access-date=October 30, 2014 |website=Sun Sentinel |archive-date=October 31, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141031055324/http://www.sun-sentinel.com/local/broward/fl-tri-rail-miami-airport-20141015-story.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
