LakeXpress (officially the Lake County Office of Transit Services) is a public transportation agency in Lake County, Florida. The agency operates fixed-route service throughout the county, and it also provides paratransit under the name Lake County Connection.
The service was instituted in 2007 to relieve traffic congestion along U.S. Route 441. Buses originally used a flag stop system that allowed buses to stop at any point on the route, but this was replaced with designated stops once ridership patterns had been determined.
Routes
LakeXpress consists of eight bus routes, which operate Monday through Friday. Three routes connect to LYNX, the transit system serving nearby Orange and Osceola Counties.
