HART bus ridership numbers for
May are in!

Ridership isn't the only thing
going up at Hillsborough Area Regional Transit Authority (HART). Numbers show
HART's new premier bus service is becoming popular among our
riders. During its first 4 days of service, MetroRapid ridership was 4,336. A clear
indication that our riders are shifting to MetroRapid.
Last week was the last week for
Hillsborough County public school students, which means it's time to blast into
summer with HART's Summer Blast Pass. (SBP) For just $30, students 17 and
under get unlimited rides on HART local bus routes all summer long. HART's SBP
is a perfect way to get to summer jobs, the movies, the mall and all of your
favorite places. The HART Summer Blast Pass is now on sale, and may be used on
any HART local bus route May 13 - Aug. 31.
Summer Blast Passes are available for purchase at any of the following four HART locations:
- Downtown Tampa: HART on Franklin, 403 N. Franklin
- Downtown Tampa: Marion Transit Center, 1211 N. Marion St.
- University Area: University Area Transit Center, 13110 N. 27th St.
- Ybor City: HART Administrative Offices, 1201 E. Seventh Ave.

age is required at the time of purchase.
Last year nearly 67,134 trips were taken as part of Summer Blast Pass. The purpose of the program is to familiarize youth to consider transit as alternative transportation, and it allows them to travel safely and independently throughout Hillsborough County.
