FlexBus Technology

LYNX is working with the Cities of Altamonte Springs, Casselberry, Longwood and Maitland to deploy a test of a local circulator system supported by technology to provide trips that are responsive to the needs of riders.  Vehicles will provide transportation between stations in the service area which will be located within a short walk of major destinations including SunRail stations.  Customers will be able to request service through the internet, at kiosks, or using mobile phone access.  Vehicles will arrive at stations within approximately ten minutes of a request.  Trips will be grouped based upon common trip requests yet will provided in an efficient manner to reduce travel time.

The demonstration, currently known as “FlexBus,” is schedule to begin service in Fall 2013.
