We have many clients going to Orlando to visit Disney, Universal Studios and other attractions.
Here is the quick guide to Orlando public transportation we found on the Internet that can be useful.

Orlando regional public transportation system is called LYNX, a public bus system that services all of Central Florida. LYNX bus stops are often marked by a round sign with either a pink paw or pink bus symbol. Standard bus fare is $2 per person one way, with free transfers.  You can get daily passes on the bus ($4.50) and weekly passes for $16 which have to be bought in advance, either on the web or from certain outlets in the area.  In addition, LYNX also offers a free bus system within Downtown Orlando called LYMMO. If you plan on using LYNX it is strongly recommended that you visit the official website for route information: www.golynx.com or call 407-841-LYNX

For visitors staying on International Drive, there is a summary of bus service provision here:

Currently under construction is a local commuter rail system, Sunrail.  The first phase (between DeBary, just north of Sanford, and Sand Lake Rd) is scheduled to start operating in Spring 2014 with extensions to the north and south to follow two years later..
