LYNX Opens Pine Hills Bus Transfer Center

LYNX opened the new Pine Hills Bus Transfer Center, offering enhanced transit service and convenience for the community with a modern facility featuring an eight-bay bus platform with a custom canopy to provide shelter and comfort for customers.




Additionally, the transfer center is equipped with CCTV cameras and enhanced lighting to create a safe and welcoming environment. The site also includes a rain garden that helps manage stormwater while adding a natural element to the space.

Orange County government representatives recently joined the Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority (LYNX) at a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of a bus transfer center located at 2756 Belco Drive in the Pine Hills Neighborhood.

The $18 million transfer center was completed with $1.03 million funding contribution by Orange County. In recent years, the county has invested more than $67 million into the Pine Hills area for projects including transportation improvement, beautification efforts, housing initiatives, and economic development.

Orange County officials have been working in partnership with LYNX and FDOT for more than a decade to bring easier bus service access to Pine Hills residents. Its long awaited arrival underscores the County’s sustained commitment to the community while advancing the mission of the Pine Hills Neighborhood Improvement District to foster economic development and community revitalization.

“This is super important for Pine Hills, its residents, its businesses, and its future,” said Tamara Johnson, Executive Director of Orange County’s Pine Hills Neighborhood Improvement District. “This is making it easier for residents to get around Orange County, while opening the door to future economic development opportunities in the heart of their community.”




Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings, Orlando Congressman Maxwell Frost, District 2 Commissioner Christine Moore, District 6 Commissioner Michael Scott, and LYNX Chief Executive Officer Tiffany Homler Hawkins spoke at the event.

Designed to meet local transit needs and serve as a community hub, the Pine Hills Transfer Center will be served by the following bus routes: Link 9, Link 37, Link 43, Link 44, Link 48, Link 49, Link 125, Link 301, Link 302, Link 303, and NeighborLink 813.

Details about the project, maps and schedules are available online.
