Tomorrow morning I am taking trirail for the first time. I am traveling from West Palm Beach to Ft. Lauderdale, and then going to the USA soccer game at Joe Robbie Stadium vs Honduras. What is the best way to purchase a ticket, can I drink on the train, and do the cars have an outlet to charge a cell phone? How crowded are Saturday morning trains down here? Thanks.
On Saturday and Sunday southbound trains leave West Palm 6:06 AM and every two hours until 6:06 PM then a last one at 8:36 PM.
Buy your ticket from one of the machines at WPB station. I don't know whether the city bus at Fort Lauderdale directly serves the railroad station on Saturday and Sunday or whether you will have to walk up to Broward Boulevard in order to get the bus west. It should be a number 22 bus westbound. You can find out more at: www.tri-rail.com
Have a good trip.
