All Aboard for Gasparilla Fun!

The pirates are coming Saturday, January 26, 2008.

This year, party like a pirate - without the epic battle for parking. Just hop aboard the TECO Line Streetcar System and ride downtown in style!

Streetcars operate from 9 a.m. until 2 a.m. on Saturdays, so you can come early and stay late - and only park the car once.

The Streetcar System serves four major parking garages including:
Centro Ybor Parking Garage
Noriega Parking Garage (8th Avenue and 13th Street, just off Nuccio Parkway)
Port Authority Garage (Channelside)
South Regional Parking Garage (Forum)

Fares:
1-Day Unlimited Ride Card $4.00
1-Day Discount Unlimited Ride Card $2.00 (Seniors age 65 or over, youths 17 or younger, people on Medicare or with disabilities.)
One-Way Cash Fare $2.00
Discount Cash Fare $1.00


Ticket Vending Machine (TVM) at Southern Transportation Plaza
Always open, always convenient, HART has installed an automated Ticket Vending Machine at the Southern Transportation Plaza, located adjacent to the Tampa Convention Center, Marriott Waterside and Embassy Suites. The machine is easy to use, saves you time, and eliminates the need for exact change!

In-Town Trolley
HART’s In-Town Trolley Green Line will be on detour due to street closures for the parade and street festival. The detour route will take patrons between the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center area, Harbour Island, and the Channel District, with connections from several parking garages along the route.

The In-Town Trolley Green Line operates from 6 p.m. - 2 a.m. on Saturdays. There will be one additional northbound trip at 2:30 a.m. to ensure patrons a return trip to their cars after the TECO Line Streetcar System operation has ended for the evening.
