After walking everywhere it was possible to walk to in Jacksonville, I wanted to test the public transportation. I had already taken the Water Taxi with my pen pal’s mother on the first Friday, I will probably take the bus to the airport on the last day, and I have a Skyway station right next to my hotel. I don’t think I’ll take the trolley because I already took its itinerary on foot.
The Skyway is cute, as its name suggests it, it is in the air so it gives another perspective. Since it was a financial failure (it does not go very far so few people used it), it’s free today! It may not go very far, but it saves a walk of 15 or 30 minutes to cross the river by the bridges! The day I needed to go shopping in the rain, I was glad to have this option.
However, it only works from 6 am to 9 pm during the week and only in case of special events on Saturday and Sunday! You should not be in a hurry either because it takes up to 6 or 7 minutes (maybe even longer) between 2 trains.
