Retired Employee with Perfect Driving and Attendance Record Rehired for 29th Time
Nov 21, 2025
The Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority (LYNX) has a few openings for new bus operators. Kris Kringle has applied and been hired for a record 29th time. The hiring recruiter has stated this is due to his punctuality, perfect past attendance and no accidents on record. Once again, he did promise this year to get his candy cane eating habit under control.
He will drive a festive LYNX bus starting Dec. 1 until heading home for the holiday on Dec. 24. Customers lucky enough to find Santa driving their route will ride that Link for free. The bus will be in service Monday-Saturday, and routes will change daily.
LYNX Central Station (LCS) will be sprinkled with sugar, spice and everything nice as it transforms into a gingerbread-inspired exhibition of merrymaking. Join the agency for the “Baking Spirits Bright” celebration filled with delightful gingerbread characters, festive games, treats and merry photo moments with Santa himself. The event will take place Dec. 11 1:30-4 p.m.
