PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. — The SunRunner, PSTA's new Bus Rapid Transit Service, is considering expanding its route to include the St. Pete Pier.
The new service, which debuted in October, transports drivers in a loop that travels through the heart of Downtown St. Petersburg to St. Pete Beach and back.

In an email on Wednesday, officials said the project is $5.3 million under budget, which could allow for the proposed expansion. It would have to be approved by the PSTA board and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA).
