LYNX is a bus system run by the Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority, serving the greater Orlando, Florida area, Orange, Seminole, and Osceola counties with limited service to Lake, Volusia, and Polk counties. Bus routes are referred to as Links. The standard adult one-way fare is $2 with free single transfers valid for 90 minutes (not valid on the same Link or for round trips). LYNX runs the zero-fare LYMMO Bus (Link 31) in Downtown Orlando, connecting many downtown destinations to parking and the LYNX Central Station by controlling traffic signals on a three-mile route along a fully separate right-of-way. All LYNX buses (Links), except the LYMMO, have bike racks (2 - 3 bike capacity) for use at no extra charge.
Bus stop signs are designed with a lynx paw in place of the traditional bus stop signs, which show a bus; although, some new signs have been placed, adding the paw to the traditional sign. Also, the route numbers (Links) are usually attached to the bus stop signs.
The budget for fiscal year 2013 that began on October 1, 2012 and ended September 30, 2013 was $115,518,832.
The FY2014 budget that began October 1, 2013 is $127,867,296.
History
The Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority was formed in May 1972 under the name Orange-Seminole-Osceola Transportation Authority (OSOTA). The bus service was originally named Tri-County Transit, or TCT for short. The authority changed its name in 1994 via a public naming contest and started doing business as LYNX.
The agency opened LYNX Central Station in November 2004 and a new operations center called LYNX Operations Center or LOC in 2007.
LYNX also opened through a partnership with the city of Kissimmee the Osceola Satellite Facility or OSF to operate their Kissimmee routes Link 4, 10, 18, 26, 55, 56, 57, 306, 416, 426 and 427. The only Kissimmee route that does not operate from OSF is FastLink 441 which is fully run out of LOC.
LYNX changed, added, and eliminated routes and schedules several times throughout its history. The service change on December 16, 2012 included new service to Haines City in Polk County.[6] connecting to Winter Haven Area Transit also known as WHAT.
The service change that went into effect on April 21, 2013 saw minor time changes made to time schedules and NeighborLink 621 serving the Bithlo area began service as a Fixed Route / NeighborLink service operating fixed bus service between SR 50 and SR 434 to the Bithlo Heath Center then operating as a NeighborLink service past this point to Wedgefield.
The service change that went into effect on August 11, 2013 resulted in minor routing and time changes being made to multiple routes and Link 4 was split at Florida Mall into two routes - Link 107 / Florida Mall to Downtown Orlando and Link 4 / Florida Mall to Kissimmee.
On September 15, 2013 due to loss of funding from Lake County, Link 55 was reduced 2.6 miles from Four Corners to Legacy Blvd.
On October 18, 2013 due to loss of funding from Lake County, Xpress Link 204 was eliminated.
The last service change on January 12, 2014 resulted in Link 4 being renumbered Link 108 and Link 17 being renumbered 106. In addition minor time changes were made and Link 4 (108), 10, 18, 26, 55, 57, and FastLink 441 were rerouted to serve the new LYNX Kissimmee Intermodel Station (KIS). Service to Osceola Square Mall was discontinued on Link 4 (108), 10, 18, 26, 57, and FastLink 441. Link 55 maintains connectivity with Osceola Square Mall with a new stop located on US 192 and returned to the Four Corners area in limited AM and PM trips. Xpress Link 204 returned to service with more limited trips and increases in fares for day passes, new 5 day pass, and 30 day pass.
