Riverside Avondale Trolley Service running this weekend in Jacksonville, no excuse about drinking and driving!

I know you had fun over the holidays here in Jacksonville. You went to the beach, saw a new restaurant at Town Center and you may have even driven to somewhere new and exotic. What if, you did not have to drive and lived in the urban areas of #Riverside #Avondale #Brooklyn and could take the Trolley instead?


The Jacksonville Transportation Authority, in cooperation with Riverside Avondale Preservation, launches the Riverside Avondale Night Trolley beginning on January 3rd and 4th, 2014.  The Night Trolley will run Friday and Saturday nights, from 6:00 pm – 2:00 am, on the first weekend of every month during a trial period running January through June of 2014.  Riverside Avondale Preservation and area merchants invite citizens to experience a clean, convenient, reliable and low cost public transportation as viable alternative to cars in Riverside and Avondale neighborhoods.

The cost is $1.50 for a single ride or $4 for a day pass. Passengers should be prepared to pay exact cash fare of $1.50 each way (operators do not carry change), or simply tap your STAR card for payment. $4 day pass STAR cards that allow for unlimited trolley rides can be purchased at Grassroots Natural Market, Green Man Gourmet, Let Them Eat Cake, Open Road Bicycles, European Street Café, Intuition Ale Works and Bold City Brewery.   Seniors (60 and older) ride free. 

The Night Trolley will feature stops throughout the neighborhood residential and commercial districts, hitting 5 Points, Park & King, the Shoppes of Avondale, the Brewery District, Stockton & College, and the St Johns Village area. The trolley picks up riders everywhere you see a Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) sign posted in the neighborhood along the below route.
