Poinciana By Lisa D’Cato
Getting in and out of Poinciana has gotten a little easier for residents who rely on Lynx bus services. The PickUp Line now includes services to Poinciana Villages 6, 7 and 8 in Polk County.

The PickUp Line is a call-ahead, wheelchair-accessible bus service where riders call at least two hours in advance to be picked up from designated areas. Service areas include connections to the Osceola Square Mall, Disney World and connections to the rest of Lynx’s fixed routes. These fixed routes run every hour on the hour.
The PickUp Line operates Monday through Saturday, 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. Fare is $2 full fare; riders 65 and older and youth ages 7-18 pay $1; and children under 6 ride free when accompanied by a full-fare passenger (limit 3). The PickUp Line number is 866-204-2976.
