PSTA Plans to Suspend Service on Thursday, September 26th
PSTA is in normal operation Wednesday, September 25th
St. Petersburg, FL—Due to the approaching storm, the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) plans to suspend all transit service on Thursday, September 26th until further notice.
The suspension includes all PSTA routes, including PSTA Access, the Jolley Trolley and Looper services.
Pinellas County has opened shelters in anticipation of Hurricane Helene. If a PSTA bus rider is traveling to one of the shelters, they must inform the operator and their fare will be waived.
PSTA will update the local media about the status of service, so tune into your local newspaper, TV radio, and online outlets for the most up-to-date information. Riders can also find the latest information on PSTA bus service by calling the InfoLine at 727-540-1900 or by visiting our Facebook and X feeds at Ride PSTA.
