LYNX Board Approves December Service Changes

The Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority (LYNX) Board of Directors has approved making system-wide efficiencies effective Dec. 14.

A major change will be the elimination of both the Xpress 204 and the Link 505. Lake County and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) have notified LYNX they will no longer fund either of these routes.

Additional efficiencies proposed include Links 21, 26, 36, 55, 57, 104, FastLink 418, 426 and 434.

On Link 111 a time point will be added at Destination Parkway.

The next service efficiencies are scheduled to take place April 19, 2015.
