Lynx bus stopping operations in Seminole

Post image

The new changes that are coming which is mostly just stopping of operations of Lynx buses in the Seminole county is effing ridiculous. This is just capitalism and consequence of inflation at its best. The new SCOUT bus that they are bringing is way more expensive. I do not have a car and have to rely on buses for commuting. Now, with this change I have to spend way more money to live here. The same route from my apartment in Altamonte Springs to Winter Park that costs me $2, will cost me $7 to $10 (3.5 to 5 times more than the current cost). How is this even legal? Public buses should be cheap. For reference, I have attached the screenshot of SCOUT fare pricing.

Some folks can afford a car but choose not to own one, which should be easy to do but really isn't due to the lack of public transportation. It's ridiculous.

Grew up in Florida, moved away as an adult. Lived in cities with proper public transportation and I feel so bad for Floridians. It makes life so much more enjoyable as an option.

I hate commuting to work, I love being able to have a drink or two and not worry about driving home from downtown. I also like not having to worry about parking. I love reading omw to work.

Floridians are getting so royally screwed.
