LYNX is a bus system run by the Central Florida Regional Transit Authority, serving the [[Orlando area. Standard (Adult) one-way fare is $1.50 with free single transfers. LYNX runs the free Lymmo bus in downtown Orlando, connecting many downtown destinations to parking and the new LYNX Central Station, along a fully separate ( right-of-way. All LYNX buses except for the Lymmo have bike racks
The Central Florida Regional Transit Authority was formed in May 1972 under the name Orange-Seminole-Osceola Transportation Authority. The bus service was originally named Tri-County Transit, or TCT for short. The authority changed its name in 1994. The name LYNX was chosen in a public naming contest that same year.
LYNX Central Station
The new LYNX Central Station, along Garland Avenue between Livingston Street and Amelia Street, it is about four times the size of the old station, and in general has a more open feel. The old station was 7 blocks south, on the south side of Central Boulevard, west of the CSX tracks, closer to most downtown destinations but a four-block walk from the Lymmo bus.
