mississauga Posted November 25, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 25, 2013 We are staying at La Quinta Inns near the airport. Besides a cab, are there any other transportation options to going to Bayside for a few hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie51 Posted November 25, 2013 #2 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I know this isn't answering your question but why not stay at a hotel near Bayside to begin with? Then you would also be close to the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you would also be close to the port. Hotels close to Bayside are already booked and are pricier. Even cab fare to and from would be cheaper than some of the prices of downtown hotels. However, if there are other options, then even better:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted November 25, 2013 #4 Share Posted November 25, 2013 One of the locals can advise you on bus or People-mover options, but my guess is that approx. $50 r/t in cab fare will be your best bet. A better (IMHO) dining option closer to your hotel is the world famous Cuban restaurant Versailles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if there are other options, then even better:D Cabs to and from the airport to Bayside will cost you a fortune. Either rebook downtown or rent a car. Otherwise your only cheap transportation option is to head back to the airport and take the Airport Flyer bus to South Beach for $2.35 a person. Bayside isn't that great.

Didn't think asking a question would get such an opinionated answer. We choose to go to Bayside. Hotels downtown are $200+ and we can get one near the airport for about $100 so a $50 r/t cab fare is still cheaper. Just asking if there are other transportation options. Not asking you where we should stay or go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouhunter Posted November 26, 2013 #13 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Bayside isn't that great. I have to agree. We walked there from the Intercontinental once and weren't that impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted November 26, 2013 #14 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Wow! Didn't think asking a question would get such an opinionated answer. . Don't think "opinionated" is accurate. :confused: You have been offered ideas that you might not have thought of. Often done here to be helpful. Take them or leave them. No need to step on someone's post. The flyer to South Beach would give you a REAL S. Fl. experience. So much to see and take in. Bayside, as you might or might not know, is pretty much a generic experience. Now that's my opinion.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
