Tag: Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority

You know, I wrote a bitter remark about the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority’s web site and local mass transit a few weeks ago, and I gave a bit of a pass to PSTA after I figured out their Trip Planner and how to make it work.

I ordered a couple of day passes in order to use the bus to get to Clearwater Beach. I had found out it would be around an hour ride around the time I had written that first aforementioned post. But after I got everything set up in it’s little row and just needed to confirm time and places to be in order to catch the bus to and from the Beach?

The origin has no stops within the distance we consider. Please contact the information center.

It’s not a browser thing, it’s not a technical thing… It’s a failure of public service thing.

UPDATE: it woudl appear Route 63 — the Neilsen bus route that I was going to take as a first step to the beach, has been canceled. Though I can’t find official word that it has been.
