Getting around Orlando: LYNX, SunRail, Brightline and tolls

Orlando is built for cars, but you can get started without one. Here’s how the region’s public transportation works.

Updated September 20262 min read

LYNX buses

LYNX covers Orange, Osceola and Seminole. A single fare is about $2, and 7- and 30-day passes are cheaper if you ride daily. Plan trips with Google Maps or the LYNX app. Rides can be long — leave extra time to get to work.

SunRail

SunRail runs north–south from DeLand to Poinciana, through Sanford, Altamonte, Winter Park, downtown Orlando and Kissimmee. It’s mainly for weekday commuting. Check schedules at sunrail.com.

Brightline to Miami

From the MCO airport station, Brightline takes you to West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Miami in about 3 to 3.5 hours — handy if you have family or business in South Florida.

Airports

  • MCO (Orlando International): the main airport, with most flights to Latin America and Puerto Rico.
  • SFB (Orlando Sanford): smaller, with low-cost airlines.

Other options

  • Uber and Lyft: available across the area — use them for trips the bus doesn’t cover.
  • Carpooling with coworkers: very common in construction and hotels. Ask at work.
  • Bicycle: there are trails like the West Orange Trail and Cady Way Trail, but be very careful on major roads.
