Hey everyone,
Here is an article I found earlier this morning about a new bus station in Bradenton; interestingly, several of Bradenton's City Council members have expressed concern that this new station will be too far away from TBARTA's proposed high speed rail route (along existing rail lines and the I-75 corridor).
Unfortunately I could not copy and paste the entire article, but it can be located at:

Also, a recently-published letter to the St. Pete Times by George Steffener of Gulfport. In his letter, Mr. Steffener proposes several ideas for integrating public transportation to and from Tropicana field in St. Petersburg, including revamped bus schedules and routes, as well as a system of ferries and water buses as an alternative for those who live across the bay. It's brief and doesn't necessarily take into account the difficulties in making such drastic changes, but was an interesting read.

Thanks, Jack -- I had seen the letter about transit to the Trop -- seeing how much beer gets consumed at athletic events makes me very enthusiastic about mass transit options to games! it's scary to think about some of these folks getting into their cars after the 8th beer.
