HART is by far the most convenient and affordable way to travel to the Gasparilla parade. An all-day HART bus pass is $4.00; an all-day streetcar pass is $5.00. Exact change is the fastest way to get on buses and streetcars during the parade.
Below are important details to make the trip to the

ReplyDeleteSounds like you have everything well coordinated. Makes getting to and from Gasparilla so much more manageable.
ReplyDeleteJust an FYI HART, the "View Map for Gasparilla 2016" links do not work. They lead me to a "Sign In" page for Windows SharePoint. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you. The maps should now work.
DeleteBe sure to bring cash - as in singles, in case you have to ride the bus instead of the Streetcar. $4 Bus/$5 Streetcar.
