LYNX Central Station is an existing central bus terminal for the LYNX bus system and future rail station for the SunRail commuter train in Orlando, FL. It is also home to LNYX's administrative offices.

It is within easy walking distance of the federal and Orange County courthouses, the Amway Center and FAMU College of Law. Additionally it provides access to downtown Orlando's businesses, shopping, entertainment and recreational venues.[1]

Bus station

The current bus terminal at LYNX Central Station opened in 2004.[2] It is the central hub of the LYNX network, servicing nearly 30 separate bus routes.[3] The 18,000-square-foot (1,700 m2) terminal has an air-conditioned waiting area, with access to the zero-fare LYMMO Bus (Link 31) in Downtown Orlando.[4]

SunRail station

The station will be one of two SunRail commuter rail stations serving downtown Orlando, the other being Church Street Station. It will provide easy transfer for SunRail commuters to the nearly 30 LYNX bus routes at the station. It will also be the hub for any future expansion of the SunRail system.[1]
