Guidebook Contributors

  • Shawn B.: Shawn was the original owner/admin for the Tampa Bay Transit site, which was originally called Tampa Bay Transit History.  For a brief period of time, he worked with Hillsborough Area Regional Transit (HART) and took many photos of the system and its fleet. When Shawn asked me to take over his site, I graciously accepted, knowing that my passion for public transit would only grow. Sadly, Shawn passed away in 2026 & is dearly missed by the many people within the transit community who knew him.
  • Anthony N: Anthony has been running his own website since 2008 – which goes beyond discussing transportation issues in the San Francisco Bay Area. In addition; he has an expansive transit photo collection on Flickr, as well as a YouTube Channel. Anthony is also a member and moderator at the SkyScraperCity forums. He also served as a moderator for my Facebook page & groups for a couple of years.
  • Jake (TransportationFan): Jake is a transit planner, rider, & enthusiast – currently working on the operations team at a Florida transit agency. He has riden & photographed numerous transit agencies within the state – including LYNX, Votran, & SunRail – as well as agencies elsewhere within the US (such as the MBTA & the New York MTA).

    Jake began assisting with the Global Transit Guidebook site in 2016. He has helped me with co-admining the Global Transit Guidebook Forum & later, the Global Transit Guidebook Vitrual Community Facebook Groups, & continues to assist with website duties on a periodic basis. Be sure to check out his Flickr & YouTube pages, as well as his Facebook group – The Transit Enthusiast Lounge.
