Megabus to Downtown Miami

[maddox_mama]

We are going on a cruise Dec 6th out of Miami and are taking the Megabus from Tampa to Miami, arriving at 7:20 p.m. the night before to stay in at the Courtyard Marriott on 200 SE 2nd Avenue.

 

My question is how easy will it be to get a taxi from the bus stop (which Megabus states is a parking lot at 601 NE 1st Street) to our hotel (1/2 mile away). It is me, my husband and 9 year old son. Not sure if it is safe to walk the distance with our luggage.

 

Any feedback would be helpful.

Its actually 601 NE 1 Av.

You could take the Metro Mover from the College North Station,

to the Knight Center Station.

MM is an elevated rubber tire train.

College station north is one block south of your bus stop.

Knight Station is one block from your hotel.

 

All three Metro Mover Loops (inner, Omni or Brickell loop) will bring you

to the Knight center station.

Metro Mover is free.

 

I assume there will be taxis at the Mega bus stop as well.

 

It would be a nine block walk through downtown Miami.

Taxi cost is probally $5. Just guessing.

Thanks so much. That sounds doable....I wasn't sure about taxis. Last year I tried to get a taxi from the train station and it took 45 minutes.

 

I really appreciate your follow up.
