What You Need To Know
LYNX bus route changes are in effect this week
This also includes adjustments on scheduling and bay changes at the Disney Springs Transfer Center
A LYNX spokesperson says the changes were published months in advance to give riders time to learn about the updates
Starting next month, riders will no longer have to schedule a NeighborLink ride two hours in advance
The April service changes include:
Route/schedule adjustments on Links 20, 36, 311, 407, 418
Schedule adjustments on Links 3, 24, 43, 48, 49, 125
Timepoint adjustments on Links 10, 19, 40, 105, 302
Bay changes at Disney Springs Transfer Center
LYNX spokesperson Matt Friedman said the changes are published ahead of time to give riders a chance to learn about the updates.
“We start publicizing this two months out, and then we switch our campaign a month out, and it’s a daily reminder that we do give to our customers,” Friedman said. “This information is on board all of our vehicles, it’s at our terminal, so there’s lots of places where folks can find this information.”
A single ride on LYNX costs $2, but that price can be discounted for qualifying youth and AdvantAge Fare Program passengers. An all-day pass is $4.50, while seven-day and 30-day passes are available as well.
Friedman said it is not uncommon for public transportation, such as LYNX, to make route changes regularly.
“We make these necessary adjustments for efficiencies multiple times throughout the years,” Friedman said. “A lot of it happens with construction projects on the road or roadway projects, and that really changes how we have to go about and travel patterns throughout the region.”
Additionally, beginning next month, customers will no longer be required to schedule a NeighborLink service two hours in advance. All trips must be booked through the Ride Freebee app, which is the same app used by riders in Seminole County scheduling a Scout ride. Walk-on requests will not be allowed.
The NeighborLink service changes begin either May 11 or May 26, depending on the route. Each link has its own service hours too.
