Transit & Ride Freebies
Aventura Express & Freebee Shuttle — Always Free
Zero-Fare Rides to Aventura Mall and Brightline
Aventura's free transit partnership connects residential areas to the Aventura Mall expansion wing and the Brightline Aventura Station — eliminating the parking problem for shopping, dining, and rail travel.
Aventura is one of South Florida's most transit-forward municipalities. The Freebee electric vehicle service operates on-demand via app, connecting residential pockets to the Aventura Mall and the Brightline station at no charge. For anyone staying in Aventura hotels or residential buildings, this means zero-cost access to one of the largest malls in the country and direct Brightline service to Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and Orlando. The service is particularly useful during peak mall hours when parking structures fill quickly.
