On Friday, the UCF Student Government Association introduced a new KnightLYNX bus stop route that could be very beneficial for UCF students.

Since the popular University Shoppes plaza was bulldozed, UCF students were out of walking distance from a lot of popular nightlife destinations. The newly updated ‘Green Route’ will make a stop for students students at the Buffalo Wild Wings plaza on University, placing them within 100 yards of the new Knight Library and close popular college restaurants such as Jimmy Hulas.

KnightLYNX has three routes; the green, red, and blue lines which all leave from the CFE Arena. The green line runs in a circle from McCulloch to University and back on campus at Central FL Blvd. The Red line goes to East Colonial Drive and heads all the way to Downtown Orlando. The Blue line goes all the way from the Rec and Wellness Center to the Waterford  shopping plaza.

KnightLYNX opened up to students in Spring 2011 as a safe means of transportation for late night hours between 8:00p.m. and 3:00a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. Riding the KnightLYNX bus is free for all UCF students with a valid UCF ID card.
