AgedPolaris Posted June 8, 2009 Share #2 Posted June 8, 2009 Brings back memories of my few Florida years. The Lynx system isn't bad at all for what it is - can get from one side of the city to the other in about 45 minutes. Now the bus systems elsewhere in that state *cough cough Tampa/St. Pete*... atrocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qns Blvd Dom Posted June 8, 2009 Share #3 Posted June 8, 2009 Very Good Pics and Video! LYNX is not a bad system for it's size and I find a lot of their bus routes to be a bit on the busy side. I was down there for 3 days in 2005 before they got the BRT's. The last video is pretty much close to the hotel that I was staying in in 05. The only thing I don't like about being down by that route (55/56) is that it ends about 8-9 PM every night unless that has changed. At least the 56 should end @ about 12-1 AM since it go's to Disney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSBAGilligFan Posted June 9, 2009 Share #4 Posted June 9, 2009 I like LYNX...they're a pretty good transit company...besides the fact that I can't get a 49 back to Pine Hills Rd. on Sunday after 7:00pm! But I wish they'd run their Orion 5's with the 6v92's and their 35 foot Orion 5 CNG's again. The BRT is nice and so is the Phantom...but they're a lil boring 2 look @ ALL the time.

DOB2RTO Posted June 9, 2009 Share #5 Posted June 9, 2009 I still can't get why can Gillig make a low floor with full size tires, and the others don't. They choose tricycle tires, that get damaged easily...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you staying at the Clarion Hotel? I was there too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you staying at the Clarion Hotel? I was there too Ah I c. I saw the 55/56 schedule online and I notice that the 56 ends around 10:30-10:45 PM every day. Hopefully it be extended til at least 12-1 AM sooner or later. To be honest, I don't remember the name that good since it was a long time ago (2005) and I only remember a blue sign in the Hotel with a Parking Lot.

N-Trizzy2609 Posted August 3, 2009 Share #8 Posted August 3, 2009 A lil late for the post, but the LYNX is the ish. They're making a BRT route soon from downtown Orlando to Universal Studios in 2011. The LYNX is also making a commuter rail from Lakeland to Sanford via Disney and Orlando. Starting 2010 or 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
