NEW: SunRunner
The SunRunner is a new Bus Rapid Transit service, looping customers from St. Pete Beach to downtown St. Petersburg, and anywhere in between. Cruising past traffic in its own lane, the SunRunner will get you where you need to go with no parking hassles. Takes about 35 minutes to get from the beach to downtown, and runs every 15 minutes. Cost is free for the first 6 months after launch (launched Oct. 21, 2022). After the launch period, fares will be the same as PSTA's regular service.
Trolley Service
Suncoast Beach Trolley stops right outside both Island Grand and RumFish Beach. Rides are included in the Resort Amenity Fee. Simply show your TradeWinds Go Pass wristband! The trolley allows visitors to explore the beach communities from Clearwater to Pass-A-Grille without the worry of driving and parking. The trolley also has connections to regular bus service in Pinellas County.
Taxi Service
Taxi service is also available. Call 727.367.3702 for rates and availability.
