I watched a video recently that introduced me to the Lynx bus system. Apparently if you have the spare time Lynx will take you to/from Disney Springs/Universal Studios. Does anyone have experience with this late at night? I want to go from Universal (after park close, 9pm) to Disney Springs. I’m trying to avoid a $80 ride share and time isn’t an issue. Thanks for any information anyone has!!!!
LYNX bus is for the public and people who don't have money (Can't afford Shuttles, Rental Cars, Limo Service, Economy, Inflation etc), so it's open to everyone. I've also noticed that alot of British and South American tourist use and have no problem using LYNX because they live in a culture where everyone takes public transportation but alot of Americans won't ride buses because they are only used to driving cars and kind of look down on the people who ride buses or trains. In America there is a bit of classism but you don't find this outlook in Europe or Asia or South America.
I use it all the time. Get the Paw Pass app and if you are there 3-7 days then get the unlimited Week Pass for $16.
To get from Universal to Disney Springs:
Take LYNX 38 from the Universal Transportation Center/City Walk to Destination Parkway Bus Super Stop.
Then you want to get on the LYNX 350 Disney Springs (This used to be called LYNX 50 until this year). (Make sure you are getting on LYNX 350 headed towards Disney Springs and not LYNX 350 headed the other way to downtown Orlando)

LYNX 50 will stop at the Disney Springs Bus Stop near the Circus du Oleil.
The one issue you may have is that the last LYNX 350 bus from Disney Springs leaves at 12:15 AM and arrives at Destination Parkway at 12:36 AM. (on Weekdays)
But the last LYNX 38 from Destination Parkway is 11:45 PM arriving at Universal at 12:05 AM.
So this means you would have to at the latest get on the 11:15 PM LYNX 350 at Disney Springs to get to Destination Parkway at 11:37 PM.
Also, it's probably better to leave before 9 PM/park close at Universal.
Because if you got on the 9:04 PM from Universal that would arrive at Destination Parkway at 9:27 PM.
Then the 9:35 PM LYNX 350 would get you into Disney Springs at 10 PM. So that would only give you an hour before hitting the 11:15 PM bus back.
Of course if you can make it to Destination Parkway, it would also be possible to get on LYNX 8, LYNX 37, LYNX 42 (some of these buses run a little later) and that would take you up to the Surfside Area where you could either walk over the bridge or take an Uber. It would also be possible to walk from Destination Parkway to Universal worst case scenario and that would probably take around an hour. (Walking from Disney Springs to Universal is pretty much impossible and would take around 3 hours)
