The “SWAN” shuttles — short for “Shuttling with Autonomous Navigation” — were unveiled last week in for a six-month pilot program that began on Sunday.
The shuttles will travel along a one-mile, five-stop loop using the LYMMO Orange Line during off-peak hours. The loop is expected to connect LYNX Central Station to spots in and around Creative Village, such as the UCF/Valencia Downtown Campus, Luminary Green Park, Electronic Arts and the ACE school, a news release states.
