HART #8 to Ybor

HART Rider

#8

Words of Kent Bailey

For decades, an extreme excess of money from fossil fuels has funded conflict in the Middle East. Limiting petrol-dollars would do much to stabilize the region. We can achieve this thru the peaceful, global development of renewable energy. A policy based on the pursuit of peace thru continued death and destruction will continue to fail, even if escalated to
apocalyptic proportions.

The aggressive development and export of renewable energy technology can render this Endless War economically unsustainable for America's enemies while simultaneously creating tens of millions of jobs in the United States. Reducing the demand and the price for gas and oil will also make many of the deep-water, shale oil, fracking, arctic and other marginally profitable extraction schemes no longer profitable.

And, oh by the way, we can save our grandchildren's planet in the process. HERE

Beyond individual actions, we must act collectively to reject those who reject Science and demand climate action. TECO, HART, the Tampa Bay Times and our Governor insist that CNG reduces carbon emissions when Science tells us that the fugitive methane (gas that escapes into the atmosphere without being burned) makes CNG WORSE than either diesel or coal! Methane is 80X more potent as a greenhouse gas.

HART Give #4777 a Raise

Help HART Driver Schnaider Prophete

Mr. Schnaider Prophete, a Bus Operator since 14 + Years for HART had been brutally attacked while performing his job and if it wasn't for a brave veteran patron, who stepped in, he might would not be with us anymore. HERE

All the Company was interested in was, 

with a phone call to the hospital

 "WHAT IS YOUR RETURN TO DUTY" date?

Attacker cuts HART bus driver in the leg

HART Plot?

5:30 PM

They blocked Florida Ave northbound at I275

So people started using Marion 

Was this a plot by HART to let drivers know there is an alternative way home? A lot of these people probably didn't know this 

place was here.

A Ferry Tale

The Tampa Bay Ferry is a fun day for the privileged, not a means of transportation for those who really need transportation.

Tampa commuters on their way to another hard day's work in St. Petersburg

It would be far more cost effective to expand the hours for the current rapid transit buses to St. Petersburg and South Hillsborough and let the privileged who won't ride on a bus with the unwashed masses pay for their own sightseeing excursions.

"While taxpayers paid $14.23 per ferry boarding last year, the similar cost per passenger was $6.17 for HART and $4.94 for PSTA." (Tampa Bay Times)

Read the Tampa Bay Times editorial "Tampa Bay ferry is fun. It’s not real mass transit" HERE

Tampa Crabs

"Sad part of all this is seeing so many Democrats currently in office lending their support to someone who puts campaign donations ahead of the people they serve.

Y’all crabs on this list should take notice that we see you backing sellouts.

For so many people who demand party loyalty, it's incredibly surprising to see support for a candidate who has REPEATEDLY voted against the Democratic platform and done so often. So much in fact, that she openly jokes about not being partyless". Jessica Vaughn HERE

"VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO? ABSOLUTELY NOT!! CANDIDATES RECORDS MATTER!!!

Susan Valdes continues to show support for charters, breaking from her party this year as the only House Democrat to vote in favor of expanding the Schools of Hope program critics said would lead to a flood of new charter schools." Beth Eriksen Shoup

HART New Security

They have been watching us for a while. 

Now they are letting you know they are.

Tampa Hero Thomas Dunn RIP

"In loving memory of HART driver Thomas Dunn. He was a loving father, and he lived his life w purpose. He was well loved by his union brothers & sisters in ATU 1593 and joined them in demonstrations against transit privatization in Sarasota. Reps from transit agencies across the country & as far away as Toronto attended. Thomas was fatally wounded by a deranged passenger as he was driving a bus. He managed to pull the bus to the curb as his last act. Rest In Peace." Commissioner Pat Kemp

Slain HART Driver Warned Of Possible Danger

 Thomas Dunn, stabbed to death while driving a bus Saturday, called for tighter security and higher pay for bus operators during the Dec. 3 meeting of the Hillsborough Area Regional Transit board.

HART pays over a hundred grand a year for security. for their drivers.

This is so sad, I ride the bus and know some of the drivers.
Incompetence down the line finally got us to this. The only security I see are the cameras and the guard they have at Marion who searches for smokers out of their area and is always telling me I can't take pictures. That kind of money is no where near enough. I hope the new regime spends the money from the new tax wisely and
listens to their drivers.
