Go Bolts! Streetcar Hours Extended

During Lightning Play-Off Games

HART will operate extended hours of service for the TECO Line Streetcar System during Tampa Bay Lightning play-off game nights, beginning with tomorrow night's game. This extended schedule means the streetcar system will operate until play-off games end.

 

The Tampa Historic Streetcar Board voted today on extending regular streetcar service, which will provide Lightning game fans with more parking options and more connectivity between Ybor City and Downtown Tampa. Game fans may park at Ybor City, and ride the streetcar to and from the St. Pete Times Forum.

 

Anyone can take advantage of this later service to get around Downtown Tampa, Channel District and Ybor City!

 

GO BOLTS!

 

Don't Forget About the Family All-Day Pass

The TECO Line Streetcar System offers an all-day family pass for $12.50. This fare covers unlimited streetcar rides for one day and up to five passengers, which includes up to two adults. Children ages 4 and under continue to ride free with a paid adult. These family passes may be purchased with cash or debit/credit card at Ticket Vending Machines, located at most streetcar stations.
