College Prowler Take

Orlando is a sprawling metropolitan area with lots to do and many ways to get there. From the city bus line and the Lynx to local taxi companies, there’s a quick, easy, and affordable ride for every student.

Travel to and from campus is also convenient and available when classes are in session. Although the transportation in Orlando is more than reliable, it’s a definite advantage to have a car. Either that, or try to find a friend who has one. Hey, at least we’re honest.

Public transportation is excellent. I live off campus, but we have a shuttle that comes every 10 minutes and drops me off directly in the center of campus.

Public transportation in Orlando...

Public transportation in Orlando is not very good. If you want to go a short distance, it is OK to use the public Lynx system, but it's not reliable for longer distances. Definitely plan ahead.
