    I agree, the public transportation in Jacksonville is horrible. It was horrible when I relied on public transportation and I heard the public transportation is worse now. And he is right when travelling to one of Jacksonville to another, it seems like it takes forever, so yeah put on some music, podcast, or something to distract you from how long it's going to take you.

    I'm born and raised in Jacksonville. Plans to move back in 2024
    I still go back home for shopping, activities and the friendliness of a people there is Wonderful. I moved to the Palm Coast area for work in 2014, after a 9 month short stay in Tampa, Fl, and other personal & work related reasons, But definitely continue to go back home to Jacksonville at least 2 to 3 times a month, got lot of family and friends there. It's a wonderful place ❤❤❤
    PS! I lived in Tampa, Florida Due to job related reasons for 9 months and I hurried and got the h*** up OUT OF THERE! It's a horrible place to live in TAMPA, and the people Are Not friendly at all. Nasty with Attitudes! I wouldn't go back to Tampa, It's like a spirit of arrogance and Discombobulation Hovers over that whole entire Tampa Florida area. Stay away from Tampa. Jacksonville Has a lot of family traditions and love. The activities the best! weather and of grand amount of things to do fun wise activities? I can't wait? To. Get back?❤❤❤❤😀
