LYNX debuts NeighborLink App Nov. 1, free rides Nov. 2
The Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority (LYNX) announced it has a new and enhanced NeighborLink mobile app available for download now but, cannot be used to make trip reservations until the official launch date of Nov. 1.
Customers will need to download the Rides on Demand mobile app through the iOS or the Google Play store and select NeighborLink from the Agency Selection screen. The fresh design and new interactive real-time app will make it easy for customers to manage all aspects of their journey. Customers will now be able to book trips with just a few taps, request space for a wheelchair, plus track their ride on a live map and receive important notifications before and during the trip.
Anyone who installed the previous version of the NeighborLink app will need to remove it and download the new Rides on Demand version. During this transition period customers in the NeighborLink service areas may still call 407-244-0808 to book a trip. Temporarily customers will need to call and book their trip for travel after Oct. 25 until the new app launches on Nov. 1.
And, as part of the Mobility Week (Oct. 27- Nov. 4) celebration, on Nov. 2 all rides will be fare-free for bus, NeighborLink and SunRail services on Try Transit Day. This will be an unlimited opportunity for current and potential riders to try LYNX and SunRail transportation options and save money on daily travel.
