Departing from Miami 

FlixBus offers several departure points in Miami, including the Intermodal Center, Downtown, Golden Glades, and Miami Beach. Here’s how you can reach your FlixBus stop: 

• Public Transit: Miami-Dade County’s public transportation system includes the Metrobus, Metrorail, and Metromover, providing comprehensive coverage across the city and into surrounding areas. If you’re located near a transit line, this can be an affordable way to get to your FlixBus stop. The Metrobus is particularly useful, with routes extending to popular areas like Miami Beach, Downtown, and beyond. 
• Taxi Services: Taxis are a reliable option for getting around Miami, especially for travelers looking for door-to-door service. Taxis are readily available at major hotels, tourist spots, and transportation hubs. However, be mindful of peak hours, when traffic can cause delays. 
• Ride-Sharing: Ride-sharing apps like Uber and Lyft are widely used in Miami and often provide a more flexible and cost-effective alternative to traditional taxis. You can easily book a ride through the app, set your pick-up location, and be on your way to your FlixBus departure point effortlessly. 

Arriving in Orlando and Getting Around 

FlixBus stops in Orlando are strategically located, with the most popular one being the Orlando Bus Station. Once you arrive in Orlando, several transportation options are available to help you get to your final destination or explore the city: 

• Car Rental: Renting a car is highly recommended for getting around Orlando, especially if you’re planning to visit the city’s top attractions and parks with friends or family. In fact, renting a car is so popular in Orlando that it makes the city the largest car rental market in the world! Car rental services are readily available, with numerous options in major tourist areas, and you’ll find a wide selection of car rental companies, including Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, E-Z Rent-A-Car, L&M Car Rental, National, and Thrifty. If you have access to a SunPass, EZ-Pass, I-Pass, or a similar electronic toll collection device, it’s highly recommended to bring it along. Tolls can be quite costly in Orlando, and many roads have transitioned to electronic-only tolling, making these devices essential for a hassle-free trip. Keep in mind that you’ll need to cover your own fuel costs, and it’s worth noting that some gas stations near the airport and Disney World tend to inflate their prices. To save money, consider refueling at stations further from these high-traffic areas. 
• Public Transportation - LYNX Bus: The LYNX bus system is Orlando's primary public transportation network, offering an affordable and accessible way to navigate the city and its surrounding areas. With a comprehensive network of around 60 routes, LYNX buses connect major tourist attractions, shopping centers, residential neighborhoods, and business districts. These routes are conveniently marked with bus symbols or paw prints, making it easy for riders to identify LYNX stops throughout the city. Buses run at intervals of 15, 30, or 60 minutes, depending on the route and time of day, providing reliable service throughout the day and into the evening. For frequent travelers, LYNX offers a variety of discount passes, including daily, weekly, and monthly options, which provide unlimited rides within the specified period. These passes are perfect for visitors who plan to use public transportation regularly during their stay. In addition to standard bus routes, LYNX operates the LYMMO service, a convenient and free circular bus route that serves downtown Orlando. LYMMO buses run every 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the time of day, making it an incredibly efficient way to explore downtown’s key attractions, business centers, and entertainment venues. The LYMMO service features dedicated lanes in certain areas, allowing buses to avoid traffic congestion and maintain a consistent schedule.  
• Taxis: Orlando is home to a wide array of official taxi companies, providing reliable and safe transportation throughout the city. When choosing a taxi service, it’s crucial to opt for licensed and insured companies to ensure your safety and avoid any potential issues. Some of the most reputable and popular taxi companies in Orlando include Mears Transportation, Ace Metro, and Town & Country Transportation. Unlike some major cities, hailing a taxi off the street in Orlando is not as common, and it’s generally safer and more effective to call ahead and book a taxi. This approach not only guarantees that you’ll get a licensed vehicle but also helps you avoid unlicensed and potentially uninsured taxis that might be operating in the area. Many hotels, resorts, and attractions have designated taxi stands or can call a taxi for you, ensuring that you have a secure and convenient way to get to your destination.  
• Ride-Sharing: In addition to traditional taxis, ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft have become increasingly popular in Orlando. These services offer a convenient and often more affordable alternative to traditional taxis, particularly for visitors who prefer the ease of booking a ride through a mobile app. With Uber and Lyft, you can quickly request a ride from your smartphone, track your driver’s arrival in real-time, and pay directly through the app, eliminating the need for cash transactions.  
• Shuttle Services: For travelers looking for a more cost-effective way to get around, shared shuttle van services are a great option in Orlando. These shuttles operate between key locations such as the airport, hotels, theme parks, and major attractions, offering convenient transportation at a lower cost compared to private taxis or ride-sharing services. Some shared shuttles are complimentary, particularly those provided by hotels and resorts as part of their guest services, while others charge a fee based on your destination.  
• I-Ride Trolley: If you’re staying in the International Drive area, the I-Ride Trolley is a fun and affordable way to explore the local attractions. The I-Ride Trolley operates along the International Drive corridor, providing easy access to a wide range of destinations including theme parks like SeaWorld, Universal Studios, and Islands of Adventure, as well as hundreds of restaurants, shops, and hotels. This trolley service is especially convenient for tourists, as it stops at more than 100 locations, making it simple to hop on and off throughout the day. A single ride on the I-Ride Trolley requires exact change, but for those planning to use the service frequently, purchasing a pass can be a more economical option. Passes are available for various durations, allowing unlimited rides for a set period. The I-Ride Trolley is particularly family-friendly, providing a stress-free way to travel between attractions while enjoying the sights along one of Orlando’s most popular strips. With stops near six major theme parks, more than 200 restaurants, hundreds of shops and premium outlets, and countless entertainment options, the I-Ride Trolley is a must-consider option for those looking to explore the heart of Orlando without the need for a rental car.
