History
The Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority was formed in May 1972 under the name Orange-Seminole-Osceola Transportation Authority. The bus service was originally named Tri-County Transit, or TCT for short. The authority changed its name in 1994 to LYNX via a public naming contest.
The agency opened LYNX Central Station in 2004 and a new operations center called LYNX Operations Center or LOC in 2007.
LYNX also opened through a partnership with the city of Kissimmee the Osceola Satellite Facility or OSF to operate their Kissimmee routes Link 4, 10, 18, 26, 55, 56, 57, and 426. Not all Kissimmee routes operate from OSF, Kissimmee Link 4 and 57 have certain trips that are based out of LOC. FASTLINK 441 is fully run out of LOC.
LYNX changed, added, and eliminated routes and schedules several times throughout its history. The latest updates were implemented in August 2012, more info available on current routes and schedules at golynx.com or through customer service at 407-841-LYNX (5969)
The next service change is going into effect December 16, 2012 and includes new services to Haines City in Polk County. connecting to Winter Haven Area Transit also know as WHAT.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“What would we not give for some great poem to read now, which would be in harmony with the scenery,—for if men read aright, methinks they would never read anything but poems. No history nor philosophy can supply their place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“History is more or less bunk. It’s tradition. We don’t want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker’s damn is the history we make today.”
—Henry Ford (1863–1947)
“My good friends, this is the second time in our history that there has come back from Germany to Downing Street peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And now I recommend you to go home and sleep quietly in your beds.”
—Neville Chamberlain (1869–1940)
