Well now that the routes have all been rescheduled, im doing another 30 days.

Ill be updating the site pretty much daily about JTA misadventures.

It looks like im going to be camping out at the Skyway in response to the flood of outrage flowing about the decrease in service on other threads.

Wish me luck.

Don't forget to carry something to frighten away the deer.

Take a picture of a human being.  You may not see any again for a while.    One thing is for sure, your sleep will be uninterrupted as it's likely the loneliest spot in Jax.  The Maytag repair man may have competition.

Stephen...

 This is an amazing adventure.  I do not know that I would have had the patience you did to endure that...particularly the Bus Driver bringing you back to your destination downtown. Or the deer.. Or the morons throwing drinks at you. What the hell?

  Seems to me JTA is in obvious need of total overhaul.   Great story.

True to form, I read the article and was mildly amused.  Very visual and entertaining.  What has become of the series, though?  One bus trip to the extents of the system and you gave up?

This is one of the most popular stories of Stephen Dare's attempt to use Jacksonville Mass Transit.

The Equestrian Center Caper.

I just reread the article, and goodness, I had forgotten how ridiculous the whole thing was.
