New ‘727’ Direct Bus Route Between Tampa International Airport, St. Pete Announced
The nine-stop route will run seven days a week with air conditioning, Wi-Fi and luggage racks, officials said.
- On Monday, the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority announced the 727 Express, a new bus service launching in October that will link downtown St. Petersburg directly to Tampa International Airport via the Howard Frankland Bridge Express Lanes.
- PSTA designed the route to bypass historical congestion between Pinellas and Hillsborough counties, responding to steady demand from local commuters and visitors for direct airport transit.
- Operating from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. seven days a week, the 727 Express will feature nine stops throughout downtown St. Petersburg and include amenities such as Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and luggage racks.
- PSTA CEO Brad Miller called the project a "transformational investment," while Tampa International Airport CEO Michael Stephens said it will provide "easier access to Pinellas County" for 25 million annual passengers.
- While the route launches in October, transit officials have not yet released specific fare prices, full daily schedules, or exact stop locations; PSTA intends to expand regional connections further, building on the existing SunRunner service.
