Taxi from Pop to Train Station

[kiwitinkerbell]

If we decide to travel by train from Orlando to Fort Lauderdale how much would a taxi cost (approximately) from Pop to the closest train station that would have trains going to Fort Lauderdale? and would this be an easy way to get to Fort Lauderdale?

It would be about $60 to the station in Orlando or $45 to the station in Kissimmee.

Thanks for that. I'm just trying to work out the best way to get to Fort Lauderdale for our cruise after our stay at Pop.

It is the easiest way to get to Fort Lauderdale without a car. But be sure to get in Fort Lauderdale daytime. The Tri-Rail station is not in a very good neighborhood. Just get a cab straight from the station to the hotel or Port Everglades. You will be fine!

It's about a $35-45 cab ride from the fort lauderdale amtrak station to Port Everglades.

Afaik both southbound trains get in to FLL around 5 or 6 pm. The Amtrak station also serves as a commuter rail station, so of traveling on a business day, it should have a fair amount of people around. (I grew up in FLL, road the commuter rail regularly, and drove past the rail staton very regularly. My parents live 5 minutes from PT. Everglades.

The much nicer route from the train station to the port is broward blvd to Andrews avene south to las olas, east to a1a, and south to the beach (if interested in seeing the shops and people on Las Olas (cute, semi fancy shopping and dining district). If you took Broward all the way east to the beach, you'd see the Atlantic for a few blocks as you came south. Either route might at something like $8 to your fare, but would give you a sense of FLL.
