Enjoy all the fun of Gasparilla, without any of the hassles of it. HART is offering extra streetcar and bus service for a safe and easy way to get around during Gasparilla!
On Saturday, Jan. 29, 9 a.m. - 2 a.m., HART will provide continuous streetcar service. Gasparilla-goers can park at a City of Tampa public parking garage in Ybor City and then hop on the TECO Line Streetcar into the Channel District and/or Downtown Tampa.
During Gasparilla, the streetcar line will begin operations from Eighth Avenue and 20th Street (Centennial Park Station) in Ybor City and end at Dick Greco Plaza in Downtown Tampa, just blocks away from Platt Street and Bayshore Boulevard - the heart of the Gasparilla Pirate Fest!

In addition, HART will operate buses 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. from Ybor City (Streetcar Society and Cadrecha Plaza stations) to Downtown Tampa, and 4 - 7 p.m. from Downtown Tampa (Greco Plaza and Tampa Tribune Station) to Ybor City.
The TECO Line Streetcar System 1-Day Unlimited Ride Fare Card is $5 and can also be used to ride the In-Town Trolleys and HART local buses. This fare card fee does not cover City of Tampa Parking Garage fees. These fare cards may be purchased with cash or credit/debit cards at Ticket Vending Machines, located at all streetcar stations in Ybor City.
HART's street team will be in full force during Gasparilla to help facilitate use of streetcar, In-Town Trolleys and buses.
