Public transit: JTA bus route 1 and downtown connections

If you use Route 1, get off at downtown stops near the Rosa Parks Transit Station or other central downtown stops and either walk or use a short taxi/rideshare to the hotel. The automated Skyway people mover does not reach the airport.

- Fare: low; check JTA for current fare and schedule
- Skyway: useful in downtown but does not serve the airport
| Transit | Approx. time | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| JTA bus route 1 | About 30 minutes | Check JTA schedule and board at airport/downtown stops |
| Skyway (downtown) | Varies (local connector) | Does not serve JAX — good for moving around downtown |
| Local trolley | Short hops downtown | Pairs with Skyway for east–west downtown travel |
