SunRunner Fare-Free for the ‘Burg’s Biggest Halloween Celebration
St. Petersburg, FL—The Tampa Bay region’s first-of-its-kind bus-rapid-transit line, the SunRunner, will be fare-free for the 3rd annual Halloween on Central. As the official mode of transportation for the event, ghouls and goblins can take advantage of free fares on the Pinellas Suncoast Transportation Authority’s (PSTA) most successful service.
From MLK to 31st along Central Avenue, 22 blocks will be closed to cars and motor vehicles from noon-5 pm on October 29th, 2023.
“We are happy to provide safe, convenient and reliable service to one of the biggest Halloween bashes in the county,” said Brad Miller, Chief Executive Officer of PSTA. “With 8 stations along the Halloween on Central event zone, the SunRunner will enhance accessibility by eliminating the need to find parking in the EDGE and Grand Central districts which notoriously have a limited number of spots.”
