SeaPA1 Posted February 15, 2011 #1 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Every now & then I'll see posts here inquiring about transport between Orlando-Tampa, or one of those to Miami. The answer has typically been "rent a car." Saw an article in the local newspaper about a relatively new, luxury bus service; they have daily runs between those cities, as well as transport to a few other places (Jacksonville, Daytona, Tallahassee, Gainesville, Atlanta). Price looked pretty reasonable - $12 pp, one way, between Tampa & Orlando; didn't look to see the cost of longer trips. The buses look very nice & comfortable - definitely far nicer than a typical Greyhound. Nice, leather seats that are larger & more spread out than a Greyhound. WiFi, TVs; almost looks more like riding in one of those high-end RVs than in a bus. Just thought some might find it useful; I know for some traveling from out of state it's sometimes cheaper to fly into Orlando over Tampa (or vice versa). www.redcoachusa.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you get a better deal flying into Orlando for a cruise from Tampa and folks need a way to Tampa. If you fly into Tampa a day ahead of a cruise some people like to go to Orlando for the theme parks or whatever else and need transport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanker4 Posted February 16, 2011 #3 Share Posted February 16, 2011 The Sunday edition of the Tampa Tribune had a nice article about this new service. They noted that the busses cost $500,000 each and only had half the number of seats that a bus this size would normally have. Sounded like a pretty good deal.
