How to apply for PSTA Senior Reduced Fare

Who it's for

PSTA (Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority) reduced fare: riders 65 and older, Medicare cardholders, and riders with disabilities pay $1.10 per ride instead of the regular $2.25, with a reduced 31-Day Fare of $42.50 (regular $85) — fares load onto a Flamingo Fares card that applies the discount automatically every time you tap. Register once with proper ID at a PSTA Customer Service Center.

What you'll need

• Government-issued photo ID showing age 65+, OR your original Medicare card, OR a PSTA/HART/PCPT Senior or Disabled ID
