When the Buses Bid Farewell
Unlike Cinderella's carriage, Jacksonville buses aren't bound by the tyranny of the clock striking twelve. However, their sleep schedules do vary depending on the day of the week:
- Weekdays: These workhorses hit the hay a little later, with most routes calling it a quits around 8:00 pm.
- Weekends & Holidays: Buckle up, night owls! Weekend warriors can often catch a ride until around 6:00 pm on Saturdays and Sundays, with holiday schedules mirroring weekend times.
But Wait, There's More! ⏱️
Tip: Let the key ideas stand out.
Now, here's where things get interesting. Jacksonville has a handy dandy service called JTA Flex. Think of it as a public transportation Uber, operating in designated zones during late-night hours (think 8:00 pm to 2:00 am). Pro tip: Download the JTA app to see if Flex is available in your area and book a ride!
Important Side Note: Not All Heroes Wear Capes, But They Do Drive Buses ♀️
Remember, these are just general guidelines. Always double-check the specific route you need using the JTA website [Jacksonville Transportation Authority website] or their app to avoid any last-minute scrambling for an electric scooter (because trust us, you don't want to navigate the St. Johns River on one of those!).
