Here is some information on the Tri-Rail route and fares.  The system runs north and south between Palm Beach County, Broward and Miami-Dade.  Please be sure to check the website www.tri-rail.com  to check for any changes or notices and also for the schedule.  You can even track and see if a train is on schedule.  The fare calculator is not a hyperlink, so you will need to go to the site if you want an exact amount.  I've never taken the train...but a few people I work with do.  It also is a cool way to see the counties in a different way.  There is a separate Weekday and Weekend/Holiday schedule.

Fare Information and schedule:

Strict Fare Enforcement
Tri-Rail strictly enforces its fare policy.

Tickets are available at all Tri-Rail stations prior to departure. Tickets are only valid on the day of purchase. Monthly tickets are only valid from the first to the last day of the calendar month. Tri-Rail suggests arriving at the station 20 minutes prior to departure. All passengers must purchase a valid Tri-Rail ticket. Failure to present a valid Tri-Rail ticket on trains upon request is a first-degree misdemeanor and may result in a fine from $50 to $1,000, arrest and/or removal from the train, FSS341.3025 or FSS812.015 (Tri-Rail policy prohibits refunds or replacement of lost or stolen tickets).

Calculating Your Fare
The Tri-Rail system is comprised of six zones. Weekday ticket prices are determined by the number of zones through which a passenger travels. To determine the number of zones traveled, start at your origin station (which counts as zone one). Each colored area counts as one additional zone. The total number of zones passed through (including the zone you arrived in) will determine the cost of your ticket. When purchasing tickets from a Ticket Vending Machine (TVM), your fare is automatically calculated by the TVM. The zone fare chart outlines the available ticket types with corresponding prices by zone. Zone shading is shown below.
