Tampa Airport $1/2 Million Deal Not Super For Consumers - With Bay Shuttle bowing out of the bidding, Phoenix based Super Shuttle of Tampa Bay lands sole rights as the on site airport share-a-ride transportation service. Under a 5 year agreement with the Hillsborough Aviation Authority, Super Shuttle will pay the Authority over a half million dollars a year minimum annual privilege fee to provide shared ride limousine service to and from Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco and Hernando Counties with the price tag for Pinellas county set at 425 thousand dollars*. "Now the big trick will be watching how the airport helps Super Shuttle acheive the business it needs and what revenue protection measures the airport will set into motion to insure Super Shuttle will make the almost $49 thousand a month payments." quotes Walter Kozak of the Florida Intrastate Transportation Alliance. "Coming on the heels of Tampa Airport's announcement of upping the cost of airport limousine transportation through another layer of permitting fees is indicative of how airports manipulate ground transportation pricing to protect the revenue stream of businesses paying for the on site concession.
