Tri-Rail offers discount fares, connections & other perks

Have you ever driven to a Tri-Rail station only to find there were no open parking spots? That is the dread of many South Florida commuters. Finally, there is a program to help provide options: A discount Ride Partner Service with Lyft and Uber.

Tri-Rail provides EASY Card riders a $5 discount on Uber and Lyft rides to and from the nearest Tri-Rail station in Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties.

Now, Tri-Rail helps get you there “all the way.” 

Whether you are commuting to work, going shopping, catching a flight, visiting a museum, attending an event or just meeting up with friends, remember that traveling by train to your destination can be a safer, greener and more comfortable option.
