Driverless Shuttles Coming To St. Pete
The Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority Board of Directors voted that driverless shuttles will come to St. Pete. There will be two shuttles that will come to St. Pete from mid-November to mid-February. They would operate on a continuous one-mile loop with stops at the Salvador Dali Museum and Mahaffey Theatre, North Straub Park near 5th Avenue North and Bayshore Drive and 2nd Avenue North. Even thought they are driverless there will be an attendant in the vehicle and will be able to manually override the vehicle if something goes wrong. The service will be free and the hours have not been set yet.
