Miami · Miami Beach · South Florida
Phoenix Bus owns and runs a fleet of 60+ vehicles. Our drivers are federally vetted. We are DOD / DOW-approved and a GSA contract vendor. One central team dispatches every trip. In South Florida we run the I-95 corridor. We serve Miami Beach Convention Center (MBCC) events, Brickell and Downtown Miami corporate shuttles, and PortMiami cruise transfers. We never hand your group to a broker.
South Florida Operations
We drive I-95, US-1, and the MacArthur and Julia Tuttle causeways ourselves. Buses stage for MBCC conventions, Brickell corporate transfers, and PortMiami sailings. Our own dispatch team runs every route. Nothing is passed to a local operator.
Coordinated shuttle loops between Brickell financial district hotels, Downtown Miami properties, and the Miami Beach Convention Center (MBCC) via the MacArthur and Julia Tuttle Causeways. Dispatch-managed schedules for multi-day trade shows and corporate general sessions.
Group transfers from Miami International (MIA) and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood (FLL) airports to PortMiami cruise terminals A through J. 56-passenger motorcoaches with underfloor luggage bays, staged via I-95 and the Port Boulevard bridge for on-time embarkation.
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans and executive SUVs for 8–14 passenger moves across Brickell, Coral Gables, Wynwood, and South Beach. Used for board meetings, private dinners, and site inspections along the Biscayne Boulevard and Collins Avenue corridors.
Direct-Operator Advantage
Every Miami route runs on Phoenix Bus-owned equipment, dispatched from a single operations center. Chauffeurs are federally audited (DOD, GSA, FMCSA), vehicles follow preventive maintenance intervals, and every route runs on our own brokers.
