Option 1: LYNX Bus 11 / 51
- Travel time: 45 minutes
- Oralndo’s LYNX Buses 11 and 51 both offer direct, local service from MCO to downtown Orlando. You can catch the LYNX Bus from the Ground Transportation Level of Terminal A. Keep in mind that these buses are meant for workers commuting to and from Orlando Airport – so no express service. Both routes (11 & 51) drastically vary and run through Orlando’s suburbs. Be prepared for multiple stops on the way to LYNX Central Station, the main intermodal terminal in downtown Orlando. Connections to SunRail and the majority of LYNX’s bus transit network. That is, you can catch another bus to your final destinations or theme parks such as Walt Disney World or Universal Studios Orlando. Learn more about LYNX’ tourist destinations here

Option 2: LYNX Bus 311 / SunRail
- Travel time: 35 minutes
- Unfortunately, SunRail (Orlando’s commuter railroad) doesn’t run to the airport – yet. The lack of direct transfer to Brightline’s newly opened Airport station is another missed connection. In the meantime you can take LYNX Express Bus 311 from Orlando Airport to Sand Lake Station and transfer to SunRail for a quick ride to downtown Orlando at LYNX Central Station. What’s great about LYNX Bus 311 is the express, non stop service from MCO to SunRail – perfect for travelers coming off that flight. You can catch the LYNX Bus from the Ground Transportation Level of Terminal A.
