I took the Lynx bus with my 7 & 8 yo dd's and was very nervous, but I have to tell you that it went off without a hitch and saved us about $40! The bus driver knew I was a first timer and was very reassuring, he even gave my dd's the student rate of .50! You can get a schedule on the bus so you know what time to be at the bus stop when you are ready to leave, and the bus was right on time!
