Meet SPARK: St. Pete’s Chic New Way to Explore the City, Car-Free
If there’s one thing we love, it’s when St. Pete gets a little brighter, a little more stylish, and a whole lot more fun. And this week, the city rolled out something that checks all those boxes: SPARK — a brand-new transit option connecting South St. Pete and Eckerd College to Grand Central Station.
Think of her as your car-free bestie. 🚍💖⚡️
SPARK is sleek, modern, and the perfect way to level up your girls’ day without ever turning the ignition. Picture this:
You and your bestie, iced lattes in hand, hopping aboard for a totally traffic-free day around the Burg. No circling for parking, no playing “whose turn is it to drive?”, no stress. Just sunshine, conversation, and chic public transit vibes.
The Best Part? It’s Free for Students & Staff.
Pinellas County students and staff can ride free all year long — just flash your school or employee ID to the PSTA driver and you’re good to go.
This makes SPARK not only adorable, but also accessible, sustainable, and ideal for daily commutes, weekend adventures, and everything in between.
A Skyway Marina District Debut With All the Vibes
We joined the celebration this week as SPARK made its official debut in the Skyway Marina District, and let me tell you — the energy was high.
Local leaders, students, community members, and creatives all came together to welcome this next chapter in St. Pete transit. And honestly? She’s giving chic public transit energy. Bright, stylish, and ready to take you wherever your day leads.
Your Next Car-Free Adventure Starts Now
Whether you’re planning a study session at a Grand Central café, a beach day with your favorite girls, or simply want to explore the city without the hassle of driving, SPARK is here to make it effortless.
