Southern US Transit
Jacksonville, Florida

Jacksonville

Jacksonville, Florida has a unique downtown circulator system dubbed the Skyway. It was originally built as a VAL automated system. But was later converted to an automated monorail by Bombardier. It is basically a two line system. Both lines share the downtown portion between Central and FCCJ. One branch heads west to the convention center. The other branch heads south across the St. John's River to link developments and parking there. It is really a park-n-ride shuttle. In my opinion if it does not expand to suburban areas, it is a waste of taxpayers money, but it is fun to ride, especially at only 35 cents a ride!
