The free bus shuttle service from SeaWorld Orlando to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay will end in November 2025.
According to a screenshot taken from Attraction Tickets’ website, the service will end on the 3rd November, 2025. The screenshot, which was taken by X user @dean8001, can be found below:

“It was confirmed late last night that the United Parks free bus shuttle service to Busch Gardens Tampa [Bay] from SeaWorld Orlando will close as of the 3rd November, 2025. The free bus service, previously run by Mears, has been a mainstay of theme park transportation getting many UK visitors to visit one of Florida’s best theme parks.”
The reason for the service ending? The rise of car ride services such as UBER has allegedly led to a decrease in the use of the service. Therefore, United Parks have taken the tricky decision to remove the service. Going by a post by X user @theplaz, that’s not necessarily true.
“I just took it this past month. They had 3 busses mostly full. One of the busses was completely full.”
