HART Partners with Transit App for Real-time Travel Information


HART is excited to announce a new benefit for customers: free access to Transit Royale, the premium service available in Transit app!

HART recently transitioned to the Transit App for customer-facing real-time travel information. The agency previously developed OneBusAway Tampa, the agency's longtime real-time information application.

The upgrade provides expanded route maps, full departure schedules, real-time vehicle tracking, and step-by-step trip guidance—all at no cost.

“We’re always looking to improve the customer experience,” said HART CEO Scott Drainville. “By offering Transit Royale for free, we’re giving customers the best tools to plan their trips with confidence and provide immediate feedback on the go.”

Starting immediately, HART riders using the Transit app will receive a notification unlocking premium features, including:

  • Full HART route maps and schedules
  • Expanded real-time departure info
  • The GO feature for trip guidance and customization
  • Personalized themes and favorite place markers


Riders can also switch the app’s theme to match HART’s branding for a localized, ad-free experience.


This initiative is part of HART’s ongoing commitment to enhancing GPS tracking, expanding digital tools, and improving service accessibility.
