JTA has extended its Xpress shuttle hours to accommodate record post-season crowds attending the game on Saturday. Service from all lots will begin at 5:00 p.m. and will end 1.5 hours after the game.

“We want to get people in and out of the stadium quickly and efficiently,” said Petrina Parker with Jacksonville Transportation Authority.

JTA has added additional buses for Saturday and is working with JSO to make sure the buses get in and out of the stadium quickly.

• You’re asked to buy tickets in advance.
• Make sure you’re in the correct line when leaving the game.
• Stay out of the roadway and follow JTA staff instructions.

“As we’re moving these vehicles in and out of the stadium, we just want people to understand that they just need to be a little bit patient. We’re going to have a great game.”

Another reliable option: the St. Johns River Taxi

There will be four boats running. Trips will begin at 2 p.m. and will run every 25 minutes.

There will be tables for check-in at each dock.

According to owner Heather Surface, there are two stops on the Southbank: Doubletree Hotel and Southbank Hotel.

On the Northbank, there will be a dock closer to the Hyatt under the Main Street Bridge.

“It’s an exciting time to be in Jacksonville, and it’s a great time to be a Jaguar fan,” Surface said.

The taxi will run after the game until the stadium dock is empty.

You’re asked to claim your spot in advance and select your boarding location online.

“Allow plenty of time to get there,” Surface said. “Just have some patience on the back end. After the game, we’re trying as hard and as fast as we possibly can. We also have to be very safe and take into consideration the number of people, the equipment and perhaps coolers that might be brought on board.”

You can also take JTA’s Skyway if you plan on splitting your trip to the stadium between different methods of transportation. It’s free and will run from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m.

There are e-scooters, e-bicycles and dockless bicycles throughout the city. CLICK HERE to learn more.

All parking lots open at 4:00 p.m. Kickoff is at 8:15 p.m.
