Welcome to the SunRunner Customer Information page, where I will list information such as fares. Please keep in mind that all listed information is subject to change.
Route & Stops
Route Map
The SunRunner travels along 1st Ave N (westbound) & 1st Ave S (eastbound) from Downtown St. Petersburg to Pasadena Ave. Buses then travel down Pasadena Ave to the Corey Causeway to enter St. Pete Beach. Once in St. Pete Beach, buses travel along Gulf Blvd for a stretch before terminating at the county beach access at 4700 Gulf Blvd.
Along 1st Avenues, buses travel in semi-dedicated lanes. These lanes are reserved for SunRunner buses, but general traffic is permitted to make turns onto side streets & businesses. Emergency vehicles & PSTA staff/maintenance vehicles are also permitted to enter the lanes when needed.

Fares
One-way trips cost the standard $2.25. Since the SunRunner is completely cashless, customers will need to utilize contactless debit or credit cards, mobile wallet apps such as Google Pay, or use the Flamingo Fares smartphone app, or purchase a Flamingo Fares smartcard. Information regarding reduced fares & those who are able to ride PSTA buses at no cost will need to check the fare information page for further details.
Fleet
The SunRunner uses a fleet of twelve 40′ Gillig BRT Plus Hybrid buses that were exclusively built for the route. Unlike the standard PSTA bus fleet, the SunRunner buses utilize the following features for ease of boarding & to enhance the overall customer experience:
- Rear plug style doors.
- Contactless card readers at both doors so that customers may use either door to board. Those with mobility devices should board using the front door.
- Three on-board interior bike racks.
- No pull cords. Since these buses will make stops at all SunRunner stations, there’s no need to pull a cord to advise the operator that you’ll be exiting.
If you do decide to bring your bike with you, please be sure to properly secure it on board the bus once you’ve boarded & paid your fare. PSTA has provided an instructional video on how to use the racks.
