Ride the All-New HART MetroRapid North-South for Free! 

Hillsborough Transit Authority (HART) is offering free rides from May 28 through June 7 on the new high-tech MetroRapid North-South premiere service.
  
Members of the media are invited to ride along on MetroRapid North-South during the two weeks of free rides.
  • The two week free ride promotion lets Hillsborough residents experience firsthand the incredible new MetroRapid service. Buses run in both directions simultaneously, departing every 15 minutes from 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. weekdays.
     
       
  • MetroRapid North-South runs north on Nebraska Avenue from downtown Tampa, then east along Fletcher Avenue to the Telecom Park vicinity, just west of I-75, at HART's new Hidden River Regional Park-n-Ride.   
     
  • Popular destinations along the route include educational institutions, shopping districts, medical facilities, employment centers, Marion Transit and University Area Transit Centers.
Following the two week free ride promotion, MetroRapid will cost the same affordable fares as regular HART local bus service. For more information about HART and the MetroRapid bus service, please call 813-254-4278 or visit
