Rude And Ungrateful HART Drivers

Saturday this blog sponsored a team in 

The Heights Collective Benefit Bonanza 2015! 

A scavenger hunt to raise money for  

The Centre for Girls - Tampa, 

Teams were given a list of task, one of them was to get a picture of a team member holding a bus pass next to a bus driver. Our team visited the Marion Transit Center to try to accomplish this task. After talking to several bus drivers, not one would help us. We showed them our tasker, told them why we needed the pic and even offered to block out their faces. Still they were rude and would not help us. We checked with other teams and with the hunt director and no one was able to accomplish this task. May we remind these drivers that it is activist like us who fight super highways (TBX) and promote mass transit so they can keep their jobs. If you would like to let HART know what you think, please do it here.

Spacial thanks to:

The bartenders at The Hub, the folks at MF Arts Ybor for the use of their awesome space, Red Star Rock Bar, the man at Ella's Americana Folk Art Cafe who let us in to get our pic of the two headed gator even though they were not open yet (Thanks for the offer Dude!), 
La Segunda Cenral Bakery, Ulele, Mermaid Tavern, Nicko's, King Corona and many more for being so HELPFUL!
And The Heights Collective for this awesome event!

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.

Tampa Light Rail On HART Agenda Again

Light rail is not dead in Hillsborough County. What's dead, for now at least, is the sales tax that would have paid for it. Plenty of people who had hoped to pick up shovels and join in the groundbreaking for Tampa's first light rail line are instead meeting Monday to find a way to keep the project moving.
