Jacksonville, Florida Station?

[Christi]

Anything to do around the Jacksonville, FL station without taking a taxi? Is it a safe area?

 

[John-MCPO-USN]

Nope......I live in JAX and the AMTK station is poorly located....taxi to Downtown (The Landing).....or rental car to Beach or Town Center.

I have been a couple years ago, dropped off to wait for train. As I recall nothing near station except one gas station up on rt 1.

The JTA has hourly bus service to downtown and Jax Beach. About 30 min to downtown and an hour or so to the beach. The bus route lays over at Amtrak.

Does JTA offer service to the airport? If so, would you know the route(s)? Sometimes after finishing my Amtrak trip in JAX a taxi trip to the airport (to get a rental car) is necessary for me. Those $25 and up taxi rides hurt my pocketbook

Yes, the CT3 route will get you from downtown out to the airport.

And either the CT4 route or the K2 bus will get you from Amtrak downtown.

See JTA web site. I used route CT4 from Amtrak to the Rosa Parks transit center and then CT3 to airport last month. $1.50 per ride.

JAX definately could use a new location.

JAX definately could use a new location.

The JTA is working on bringing Amtrak back to the former train station, which is close to downtown and connected to the Skyway people mover.

It's only planning and planning about a vision. Dosen't matter when it's not even under construction.
