Miracle Mile to Metrorail — Zero Fare Through the Gables

Coral Gables is one of Miami's most walkable and architecturally distinctive neighborhoods, and its free trolley is one of the best-kept transit secrets in South Florida. The signature vintage trolley runs a continuous loop along Ponce de León Boulevard and Miracle Mile, serving the city's main dining and retail corridor. The Douglas Road Metrorail connection makes it a genuine transit link — not just a neighborhood shuttle — giving you access to the full Miami-Dade rail network from the heart of the Gables without a car.
