Welcome to the Transit Museum! I originally housed this page under the Hillsborough Area Regional Transit (HART) section, but I eventually siphoned it into its own realm to include other transit agencies. Here you will find a photos & scans of transit passes, maps, & schedule booklets, among other items to come. Please check back periodically – as I do upload new content as they become available. If you would like to contribute anything, please let me know through the Contact Form.
This page is subdivided into the following sections:
Before I go into the galleries, I want to take a moment to thank the following contributors:

Notice the Flxible Metro bus on the Transit Guide. Those buses were in service from the 1980s until 2002, when they were replaced by Gillig Low Floor models. Scan by Orion 2003.Brochures for Routes 7, 14, & 36. All three routes have seen significant alterations. Scan by Orion 2003.Route 14 has also been significantly altered over the years. It no longer jogs over to where Raymond James Stadium is today, nor does it venture into Downtown Tampa.Here are some passes that HART no longer circulates.
