    Public transport to Tampa

    Had a guest enquiring if there is a bus/train service to Tampa as he wants to go to a concert and doesn't want to drive, anyone had any experience with this?

    A couple of trips ago my son went to Tampa by Greyhound. I think it took just over 1.5 hours. I presume it still runs.

    There are train and bus services which are very good value but I wouldn't recommend the train if he wants to be sure that it runs to schedule. Amtrak are notoriously unreliable and delays of several hours or even days are commonplace and the train from Orlando to Tampa originates in New York. Strangely, you can book either bus or train on the Amtrak website so I'd suggest looking there as a starter.

    Surely not - they're just for old timers like me!!

    If he did I'm guessing he was going to be waiting a long time as they said he went a couple of trips ago
