An update for my friends, condo owners and vacationers in Panama City Beach, FL…

Panama City Beach will begin offering express shuttles to Pier Park next weekend.

The shuttle will run an East-west shuttle service using two Bay Town Trolley vehicles (with a third in reserve) and will drop off in Pier Park at a specially designed turnaround on the north side of the Grand Theaters.

The system will operate from 10 a.m. to midnight each Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with scheduled stops every 30 minutes.

Season runs from June 20 through Sept. 28. This service is in addition to normal trolley operations countywide on weekdays from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Select stops will be located on Front Beach Road, Middle Beach Road and Back Beach Road

The fare for the shuttle will be 50 cents per person, per ride.
