Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority | Snapper

Snapper is an on-demand transportation option serving Safety Harbor and parts of Clearwater. The service is designed to help you connect to PSTA bus service, either as the first leg of your trip or the final leg of your trip between PSTA transfer centers at Park Street Terminal and Countryside Mall.

Possibly, yes. Snapper operates in smaller buses that seat multiple riders, so your ride may be grouped with other passengers headed to the same destination or somewhere nearby.

Snapper follows the same fare structure as PSTA buses. Most riders will pay $2.25; seniors, disabled passengers, and students pay $1.10 with proper ID. 

You can pre-pay for your ride when booking, or pay onboard with any tap-enabled credit card, debit card, Flamingo Fares card, or cash. If you want to pay onboard the vehicle, select “Cash” when booking regardless of your final payment method.

The easiest way to book a Snapper is visiting grouper.psta.net or downloading the Grouper app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. You will only need to provide a mobile phone number, first name, and last name to sign up. You will need to provide your pick up and drop off location addresses to request a ride. Credit card information is not required, but you may optionally enter a credit card if you want to pre-pay for your ride. 

Alternatively, you may call 727-540-1900 to request a ride over the phone with one of our customer service agents. 

Yes! All Snapper vehicles are equipped with the same Flamingo fare card readers as PSTA buses. When booking a Snapper, select “Cash” and present the driver with your UPASS ID or tap your Flamingo card when boarding.
