STAR Circulator Bus

STAR Circulator Bus 

STAR Circulator—short for St. Augustine (STA) Rider—provides free rides in St. Augustine's Historic Downtown and from several points on Anastasia Island. These blue-and-white buses start at the turnaround between the parking garage and the Visitor Information Center, make two stops downtown, and then cross the Bridge of Lions to circle a route on Anastasia Island before heading back downtown.

This free bus is available to visitors and locals. Along the route, the bus stops only at designated locations. There is no written schedule. The first bus starts at 9:00 a.m. each morning, stops at each location, returns to the Visitor Information Center, and sets out again. The last run starts at 9:00 p.m. on Sunday through Thursday and at 11:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. There is no public parking at the stops on Anastasia Island; leave your car at your home, hotel, or vacation rental and walk to the nearest stop.

Five Things to Know:

1. Passengers may complete one circuit and get off at the end. They can reboard later.
2. The last bus leaves the Visitor Information Center at 9:00 p.m., Sunday through Thursday, and at 11:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
3. One bus is wheelchair accessible.
4. Stop #13 is at 107 Anastasia Boulevard, the Historic Inn, heading away from the Bridge of Lions.
5. Stop #17 is at 410 Anastasia Boulevard, the Black Fly Restaurant, heading toward the Bridge of Lions.

During Nights of Lights 

During the Nights of Lights Season, the STAR Bus operates normally until 3:00 p.m. Beginning at 5:00 p.m., the bus circulates exclusively on an Anastasia Island route. 

• The route starts and ends at 107 Anastasia Boulevard, a block from the Bridge of Lions. (Look for the Historic Inn sign.) It follows the normal route, except it does cross the Bridge of Lions.
  • During the Nights of Lights, the bus will not stop at Blackfly Restaurant (#17) on the way back toward the bridge.
  • The STAR Circulator does not operate on New Year's Eve due to the fireworks on St. Augustine Beach.
