JCK Shuttle
The JCK Show Shuttle is run by the JCK Show and is not part of the official GemRide shuttles.
If you want to take the GemRide shuttle to get to the JCK Shuttle, the closest stop seems to be at the GJX Gem & Jewelry Show on the Downtown Gem Loop (green map) and then walk across the street to the Convention Center.
