Orlando Transport - There are many different types of transport around Orlando, and loads of shuttle buses to the main Theme Parks and Attractions. Orlando is a “spread out” city and so in general walking is not a great option – but you will do lots of walking within each attraction even tho they do provide internal transport! A rental car is of value for moving from your hotel accommodation to the various parks and sights and Orlando is geared for car hire as all attractions provide ample parking.

Be sure and check out shuttle buses to the attraction you are planning to go to. There are many of these and they may include your hotel for pickups. Of course in the Parks, there are several ways to get from one part to another.

Orlando also has a good public transport system. The bus service is run by Lynx. Lynx provides about 60 routes throughout the city and covers many of the key attractions serving Orange, Oseola and Seminole counties. The Lynx buses have wheelchair access. They make a great photo as they are brightly coloured. They run almost around the clock. You can go to www.golynx.com for further information. Fares are $1.25-$1.50 for trip of up to 90 minutes (including transfers) or you can get a one day ticket for $3. There is also a I-Trolley service – a Main Line and a Green Line, they run every 20 or 30 minutes in the International Drive Area. A one way ticket on the trolley is 75 cents. So far Orlando has no rail system within the city.

Or do you want to move around by Pedicab? These bicycle-taxis/rickshaws are great fun. They take up to four people and are free (but you can tip). They are available in the Downtown Area from Tuesday to Saturday.
