Hartline - Hillsborough Area Regional Transit Authority

Google Maps Transit is a very cool addition to Google Maps. I just don't understand why more cities in Florida don't have their information loaded in the system.

Right now the only Florida city taking advantage of this awesome service is Tampa. Check out HARTLine on google maps this just makes the system very understandable.

As this lowly website gets started I find more and more resources working for smart transit in Florida. Tampa Rail seems to be a good one. Started many moons ago by someone very driven for "smart transportation." I was lucky enough to find in the day of Dave's first video post it's actually pretty good. Gives a history of the site and what he is advocating.

The Tampa Tribune reports: HART plans fare increase, cuts trolley fare

HART ridership, meanwhile, grows, projected to approach 12-million this fiscal year.

Regular bus fare would rise from $1.50 to $1.75. HART also expects to increase the costs of fare cards, express fares and paratransit fares. Overall, the changes would generate about $736,000 more annually.
