    Thank you for being a bus driver and transit enthusiast as well Bus Driver Life. Please do more videos like this whenever you travel again soon. I also love listening to the transmission on buses to be honest with you.

    Lymmo is Lynx's BRT route. It was the first BRT in the nation when it started in 1997. They used CNG buses when it started, then it evolved to electric buses.

      The Lynx Central Station is a bus hub that was intended to double as a railroad station, and finally did once SunRail became operational in 2014.

      I do like riding on the JTA Gilligs especially the recent ones (2019-present BRTs), but I hope that JTA will add New Flyer X60’s to their fleet in the near future and add more routes in Jacksonville so that they can compete with other cities in Florida.

    The 42 next to you goes directly to the Convention Center, but it is nice of you that went to Central Station to do some more footage. At least the 38 you took is an express. Regardless, it’s a sprawling city that makes it takes a long time to get around. The buses are really nice but very few visitors use them. I am glad you had a great time riding. Great footage of APTA Expo!

    • @cosmicviewer477

    LYMMO is the brand name for Lynx Routes 60-62 they are the free Downtown Buses. The idea is you Park your car and ride through downtown or connect from SunRail to them they have the Orange that runs fully BRT. The Grapefruit and Lime that are partially BRT and run a little outside the Downtown Core such as to Lake Eola, Amway, Paramore, North Quarter etc, etc.
