Tri-Rail announced the return of its beloved annual event, “Ride & Play.” South Florida residents and visitors were invited, once again, to ride Tri-Rail to experience its new service to MiamiCentral Station and explore downtown Miami with great attractions, shopping and dining destinations. Tri-Rail riders enjoyed fun on board the train along with the sights and sounds of downtown Miami and special offers from local partners. “Tri-Rail’s ‘Ride & Play’ is another invitation for people to come out and experience our improved service and expansion into MiamiCentral Station,” said David Dech, executive director of SFRTA/Tri-Rail. “We welcome everyone for a fun day on board the train to enjoy downtown Miami with weekend fares at just $5 all day.” As part of Tri-Rail’s “Ride & Play,” attendees enjoyed costumed characters, balloon artists and magicians on southbound trains P669 and P671. On the Saturday, riders also benefited from special offers from downtown Miami partners by showing a valid Tri-Rail ticket or EASY Card.
