I Don't know what you're asking. Magical Express only runs from MCO to Disney Resorts. Unless you mean Disney transportation buses, They go everywhere in Disney. Sometimes standing room only, sometimes only one on the bus. There is no way to predict.
I know about Disney's Magical Express that runs from MCO to WDW but this is an internal transportation that is a little different than the normal Disney Bus Transportation.
It is called the Express Transportation and is only offered to guest members with a park hopper option added to their ticket. It is a park-to-park transportation and allows you to avoid going back through security or main entrances at any of the parks. Here is the article from Disney's own website... disneyworld.disney.go.com/guest-services/express-transportation-options/
I read about in different article and in that article, it was mentioned that this was a trial service to see how popular this is and if they needed to make it a full-time option. I think this trial ends the middle of January.

That's pretty awesome. Looks like they avoid the front gates for pickup and dropoff. That's a big time saver. BUT need to add 27$+ tax to each ticket for multiple days. Hasn't been advertised well.
I agree it hasn't been advertised well. Neda and I talked about it last night and not sure it the price is worth it which is why was posed the question to see if anyone has tried it. We park hop a lot really haven't had a problem getting from one park to another but it is nice that this is a more direct route and allows you to skip the lines. Also, with the multiple day ticket, is it $27 + tax for the entire 7 days? That is kinda unclear too.

I haven't personally used it....guess because it's also another charge and I'm not often staying there so we just drive the truck from park to park and go through the check in again if we need to.....otherwise you can go from one park to another (i.e. mK to Epcot) on Monorail, etc. so why pay for that service? I don't think it's going to work out.....haven't heard much at all about it being utilized

I guess the Express Transportation option that was released in December 2016 which allows guest to travel park-to-park without having to go through security at the second park was a big success. Just last week, Disney announced and made effective a price increase in the this service.
Originally, the price was $15 for one day or $25 for a multi-day pass up to seven days. On top of this, you only qualified for this service if you had the hopper option added to your ticket.
The new price effective February 22nd is now $19 for one day and $29 for multi-day pass.

Disney will unfortunately charge for new and reduce what you already get. My wife has complained for years that we always get less and less and end up paying more and more for the less and less.

okay Cathie I know what you did, you went for the "a" and hit caps lock and then the "r" realized you had caps on and took it off, took another sip of Merlot and hit send. LOL
Yes it is the happiest place on earth, but they always change things and we get less and less each time. They get away with it because of our memories of happy times and wanting to do it again.
Just as a Devil's Advocate here, prices do go up when things are added. But look at the man power, bus maintenance, fuel, etc for the extra service. Then throw in insurance to cover when things go wrong or visitors get slack. (When the Free services are added, remember that they are never really free.). But, if something is added as an add on....and worth it to a visitor, then go for it. If not, then don't. I like to think of our Disney trip as "All inclusive" hybrid with add ons. We decided on the Magic My Way package and then what extras are really worth it to us as a family. This service really doesn't mean a lot to us now, because we don't park hop.
I wish that little extras like this were bonuses for coming to the park or just for adding a hopper to the ticket, but I can understand why they can't and it's ok.
