Lynx Central Station Transit Center in downtown Orlando features Bus Rapid Transit and regular bus routes going everywhere in the region. SunRail is building a 61-mile, 17 station commuter rail transit line to run north-south in the region. It will include stops at Lynx Central Station, Church Street, Sanford, Winter Park, Kissimmee and numerous park-and-ride lots. Phase I opens by 2013 and Phase II by 2015.  Sunrail also plans to build a OIA Connector Light Rail from the OIA intermodal transportation center to downtown Orlando. Now that Florida High Speed Rail is under construction to the OIA, anticipate those light rail transit plans firming up soon.

Single fare is $$1.25, but a $4 one-day pass to $10 seven-day pass is recommended, depending on your length of visit. Operates daily from 8am-10:30pm.

Orlando Freeway & Tollway Network: Excluding I-4 Freeway, which bisects Orlando through its downtown, the metro area has a preference for tollways. This means two things. First, I-4 Freeway is often jammed. Second, keep several dollars handy to feed the toll booths.  Like all Florida tollways, they are reasonably priced per mile traveled. Freeways and tollways are:

        Florida Turnpike (tollway) from I-75 thru Orlando to I-95
    4  Interstate freeway from Disney World-Orlando-Daytona Beach
408  East West Tollway connects central Orlando to SR 417
417  Central Florida Tollway around eastern Orlando, connects I-4
528  Bee Line Tollway connects I-4 to I-95 and the Atlantic Coast
