Does MCO have public transportation?

The Intermodal Terminal Facility will accommodate regional rail service, including SunRail and Brightline, and support ground transportation including taxis, shuttle buses and public bus operations. MCO ranks as the No. 1 busiest airport in the state of Florida.



Yes, Orlando International Airport (MCO) offers several public transit options, though they require a bit of planning. The Lynx bus system serves the airport, providing affordable routes to downtown Orlando and major tourist corridors like International Drive (Routes 11, 42, 51, and 111). Additionally, the SunRail (Orlando's commuter rail) can be accessed via a bus link; passengers take a Lynx bus to the Sand Lake Road SunRail station. While these are budget-friendly, they can be slow and involve multiple stops. Most tourists opt for the "Brightline" high-speed rail, which has a terminal directly at MCO, connecting the airport to West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami. For those heading to Disney or Universal, shuttles and ride-shares remain the most popular, albeit more expensive, choices.
