Of the 33 current HART routes, 8 of them currently reside outside the city limits of Tampa. Another 7 have the majority of their route outside of Tampa.

A proposed change to HART would include dissolving it and replacing it with a new organization based solely within Tampa city limits.

A majority of HART riders currently live within city limits. The split is 56% in city limits and 44% outside of city limits.

Riders at the Marion Transit Center in downtown Tampa say they do not support the change.

"I feel like they shouldn't just bring it in just to Tampa. It needs to be more expansive if you ask me," says Joshua Jennings, "I feel like maybe you guys need to have 24-hour buses as well."

The city limits of Tampa do not include communities like Brandon and Temple Terrace.
