Jacksonville’s Monorail!?

Officially known as the Skyway. First opened in 1989 and overhauled in 1997 – located in downtown Jacksonville (Florida). It serves a limited area from near Florida State College at Jacksonville to the convention center and crosses the St. Johns River along the Acosta Bridge to the Southbank.  Also known by a handful of “colorful” local names, it is Jacksonville’s attempt at an automated people mover.

At the Rosa Parks Transit Station.

It was free to ride courtesy of the Jacksonville Transit Authority for a time while they worked on a plan for payment. Ridership jumped nearly 61% as one would imagine! Estimates are as many as 5,000 people ride it everyday.

Thanks for stopping by!

3 Parks 1 Day! 10 hours! WooHoo!

Not bad for an experienced couple – we fell in love in the Magic Kingdom back in 1973, honeymooned at Disney in 1974 and celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary in 2014 at Disney! I believe Carol and I have bankrolled a few Disney movies over the years with what we’ve spent – worth every penny!
