Help with busses...

[RedFoxRunner]

My friend & I are going to WDW over Spring Break. We're wanting to go to USF while staying on Disney grounds. Does anyone know much about the city busses? I tried looking this up on-line but couldn't find anything out.

We think we can take a city bus from Downtown Disney/Pleasure Island to Universal Studios. Is this possible & does anyone (that may use the busses) know how late in the day they would run during March?

Thanks for the help,
Bryant

I was wondering why you wanted to goto the University of South Florida over in Tampa...

I think a city bus, probably Lynx, goes out of PI, but then you'd have to transfer. Adirect route from Disney to Universal would be frownded upon by both parties

You should check out http://www.golynx.com that's the link to Central Florida's Public Bus Transportation.

Go to "Route Assistance" ---> Lynx Online Bus Trip Planner ---> Scroll down to "Click Here To Plan Your Trip."

Then under starting location, under Interest choose "Attraction/Leisure/Resort" and Choose Disney Quest.

Under destination under Interest choose "Attraction/Leisure/Resort" and choose Universal Studios Florida.

Submit and you'll have your information. It may take a few minutes if the server is busy.

I would suggest that you take Mears from a resort. It's only $12 round trip and you don't have to deal with transferring.

Time out Forget about any of the 300 routes they are for CM's really and will not help you in anyway getting to USF. your best bet is to take a mears shuttle.
