The service will connect the Jacksonville Regional Transportation Center (JRTC) in LaVilla, FSCJ South Campus, and Jacksonville Beach.
It will run Monday through Friday during peak morning and afternoon hours.
Travel time between Downtown and the Beaches is expected to be 50–55 minutes, and 30 minutes between FSCJ South Campus and Downtown.
“This new service provides a vital link between two of Jacksonville’s busiest hubs, making daily travel during peak times safer, easier, and more efficient,” JTA CEO Nat Ford said.
Along with the new express line, JTA is rolling out schedule adjustments on multiple routes. Weekday changes will affect Routes 102, 105, 107, and 109.
