So, to the young people fighting in this movement for change, here is my charge: march in the streets, protest, run for school committee or city council or the state legislature. And win. - Ed Markey

So they're selling 4 trains. As I understand it they had 10. There has to be more to this.

Those look like old "parts" trains. Maybe MOSH should pick one up for one of their future exhibits....

LOL, because all the personnel that run the Skyway and are being terminated used their last days on the payroll for vacation leaving no one to mind the store???  I don't see a restart of the current system anytime soon, if ever.

To Ennis's points, the question remains what is the future of the track infrastructure?

It takes an outsider to understand why the ridership was low. I stopped riding the skyway when they shut down service early for no reason leaving me stuck downtown when I parked at the Kings Avenue Station. This happened twice. The system was designed to fail.

This video is great!  The narrator is entertaining, well informed and sticks to well researched facts with added commentary to keep the viewer interested.  Great promo for Jacksonville and Downtown, if not the Skyway. Thanks for posting!

Agreed! It's always so fun to see Jacksonville through an outsider's eyes too. Love this guy. Look forwarding to watching more of his videos.

There are a few more out there, but mostly to make fun of downtown Jacksonville. This guy did do research for sure.
