context_page_description: Miami Intermodal Center is an intermodal rapid transit, commuter rail, intercity rail, local bus, and intercity bus transportation hub in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States, just outside the City of Miami limits near the Grapeland Heights neighborhood. The facility was constructed by the Florida Department of Transportation and is owned by the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority.
  The MIC is located on Northwest 21st Street near North Douglas Road, east of Le Jeune Road and Miami International Airport, and south of the Miami River and the Airport Expressway. It is currently served by Tri-Rail, Metrorail, the MIA Mover, Metrobus, Greyhound Lines, and may possibly be served by Amtrak in the future. The station portion of the MIC is signed as Miami International Airport on Metrorail and Miami Airport Station on Tri-Rail. It would have appeared as "Miami" on Amtrak timetables.
  The MIC's rental car center opened on July 13, 2010. The MIA Mover began to operate at the MIC on September 9, 2011, followed by Metrorail on July 28, 2012. Tri-Rail and Greyhound began using it on April 5, 2015.
context_section_description: Phase II of Miami Airport Station consisted of mainline rail and intercity bus terminals, connected to the Phase I station complex with a large pedestrian bridge. Tri-Rail has two stub-end island platforms, each served by two tracks. Construction of the facility began on May 18, 2011. Tri-Rail's Miami Airport station closed on September 12, 2011 for what was planned to be two years of construction. Hialeah Market station was upgraded with a temporary ticket office, additional parking, and restrooms, with shuttle bus service to the airport. The closure was expected to save $10 million in construction costs. Amid design changes due to financial concerns, a ceremonial groundbreaking took place on September 27.
