    From brochure

    I love the Skyway. We normally use it on the weekends for events downtown, but rode it for the first time during a weeknight when we went to Art Walk. Believe me, it is so much less stressful to park in a well lit place and just ride the Skyway downtown. (Trying to find a parking space downtown is a nightmare for me.) It's well worn, but clean and safe. Workers are present, and I frequently see police patrolling. There are people from all walks of life riding this. My only complaint is that it needs to be expanded to go to further areas in Jacksonville. Just downtown and San Marco isn't enough. It needs to go farther into Springfield, into Riverside, etc., maybe even across the river into Arlington.

    I've used the JTA Skyway for a few events in the past and it's pretty cool. It's a great way to get around to some spots downtown and very cheap entertainment for my boyfriend who doesn't get out much. Just be aware of your surroundings when you ride as you can bump into some pretty sketchy looking people that may or may not have good intentions. It's pretty efficient for those major events throughout the year and I would definitely recommend trying it once. With the limited stops, it still leaves a lot to be desired for transport. Now if they can only expand it to service the surrounding downtown communities, the airport and possibly the entire Jacksonville area, it would be more useful and then I would probably take it all the time.

    The adventure begins.

    If it was $2 or thereabouts, I'd balk. Since it's free, there is NOTHING to complain about. Does it go everywhere? No. It wasn't meant to. Just like Miami's Metromover adjunct to Metrorail travels on a tightly defined loop in downtown Miami and skirts the harbor and the cruise terminal, Jacksonville's JTA Skyway has a compact layout necessitated by its more horizontally spread out downtown on the north side of the river and a portion of the commercial area, containing insurance company and medical buildings, that is on the south side of the river. Not only that, it makes for some great elevated views, it is air conditioned, it beats walking across a long bridge to get across the river, it will make you feel like a kid, and it can, and probably will, be expanded. Again, it's free. So quit bitching.

    Have never really had a chance (or desire) to ride the Skyway until One Spark. Great utilization of something I didn't really ever think had much of a place in Jacksonville. I don't work downtown and I'm not really downtown enough to be a huge fan of the Skyway, but parking at the Prime Osborn and getting off at Hemming Plaza was so much easier thanks to this little ride when I was headed downtown for One Spark. I think we will only see this continue to grow and downtown grows. It may be slow, but it will get there.

    A great way to get around in the Downtown area, and for FREE!

    Enter here and don't forget the name of your station so that you may return safely.

    I BELIEVE I CAN FLY! The JTA Skyway is a free monorail train that travels along an elevated platform around downtown Jacksonville. It is a great way to see views of the river and surrounding areas. We had no particular destination in mind but just want to experience the Skyway. It was a really nice ride and best of all, it was free! Just keep in mind that riding this train is like taking public transportation in any major city. We found the station to actually be a bit deserted on a weekday morning and this may make a female rider uncomfortable. You may also encounter some interesting characters. Despite, any misgivings you may have, the experience is worth it because the people we met during our adventure were kind, engaging and very helpful. I could definitely see this train being popular during special downtown events. It is a great way to avoid having to park downtown. Kids will love this train so enjoy the ride and don't forget to take photos! *** The train runs from 9am until 6pm.

    It in effort to support down town and give myself an urban feel, I take the Skyway whenever traveling to a downtown Jacksonville location that is near to the Hemming Plaza train stop. The service is Free and reliable. It is being used by very few business commuters and even fewer evening downtown diners. I use it 3 or 4 times each month. During the day it feels just fine. At night it can be creepy depending on what downtown activity is going on. When it's festive downtown, the Skyway is not too bad. When is dark and nothing going on the bring business or diner riders, it is not a comfortable feeling.

    It's free, it's clean, it was fun to zip around the city at third story heights. Like a little crow we flitted above pedestrians, streets, in between tall buildings and even over the glittering St. John's River. The skyway eliminated parking problems for us and the people manning the stations were friendly and helpful. Maybe too helpful when a uniformed guard cheerfully bellowed for everyone to squeeze in cause he could fit about 20 more people in despite the fact that we were already sardined in there. But everyone showed their festival love and we made it work. There's room for improvement as far as daily use (wish it went to Riverside) but still, it's like the little engine that could--and I would ride it again.

    Free but scary to ride! Limited stops and it closes earlier than many restaurants. Overall not a good value, even at no cost.

    In my book, anything that is a step towards a better mass trans solution (Skyway, Riverside Trolley) is A-OK!

Shame on those private sponsors. ( I know, the recession) Last years fare's were only 50 cents! The beaches shuttle system is scheduled to run May 3 through Sept. 6 on Friday nights 7pm to 2am, Saturdays noon to 2am and Sundays are noon to 6pm. The trolleys will operate longer hours on Sunday, July Fourth, running from noon to 2 a.m., and Monday, Sept. 6, for Labor Day, running from noon to 6 p.m. The trolleys will continue to go back and forth from South Beach Regional Shopping Center in South Jacksonville Beach to Atlantic Village Shopping Center in Atlantic Beach. But only on 3rd Street. They will avoid First Street, which is narrow and peppered with pedestrians, which slows the operation. The return time at any given trolley stop is about 20 minutes and I don't think that's too bad of wait or price given the dangerousness of drinking and driving and what that could cost you! Besides, I don't want to be out there on the road with my kids and your drunk butt is driving!! See ya at the trolley stop!

We landed on time and then notified the car that we had arrived. Of note is the fact that there is a specific pick up area on the arrivals section for services like Uber to pick up their fares. Also, we are senior citizens carrying very heavy bags. The pick up line moves quite quickly. My wife was keeping track of our Uber on her phone. She was notified that the car, a Volkswagen Taos, would arrive in 9 minutes. At about the 15 minute mark, her phone showed that the car was 650 feet away. We waited and waited but no car. Then, my wife texted the driver to find out where she was. She was sitting in the waiting line way, way back from the pick up area. She then told us to walk back and find her in the line. My wife said that we were absolutely NOT going to walk back and find her. We were standing in the correct pick up area. It was her job to drive down and pick us up. We stood there patiently, and finally this white Taos came down to where we were, rolled down the back window and started to scream my wife's name, never even got out of her car to get our suitcases. My wife , hearing and seeing this ridiculous behavior, walked over and told her to forget it. In addition to being nasty, this woman had a magnetic sign on the side of the car, and when my wife asked her what it was, she said"that's my business." The name of the business was Hygiene Anonymous. We don't know what she was doing. Was she picking us up in between jobs? And what does that business have to do with Uber? We ended up getting a different service to take us home, ZTrip which was more expensive, but was sitting there and we both agreed that the driver was careful and very friendly. This is not to say we will not ever use Uber again, but this was a very bad experience.
