One Tampa bus route will be fare-free in 2025
"In an exciting move for public transit in Tampa, the Hillsborough Transit Authority (HART) announced that starting Jan. 5, 2025, Route 1 will be fare-free for all riders. This change will make traveling between downtown Tampa and key destinations more accessible and affordable than ever."
I think that's great, but...ONE route? How much more would it have cost to make them all free?
Tampa is moving closer to extending the streetcar
"The proposed streetcar expansion isn’t geared toward tourists; it will provide a reliable transit option for our residents and enable us to accommodate more people in our urban core...An expanded transportation spine will realize a future of living, working and playing car free from Ybor City, Water Street, downtown and deep into Tampa Heights."
