[edit] HARTflex

As part of HART's reorganization of routes and fares, which will take place from November 2006 to summer 2007, new flex routes (called HARTflex) will be initiated in select neighborhoods and will connect to existing fixed routes on a timely basis. As of February 2007, the fares for HARTflex will be the same as a local route. Note: This information may change upon the launch of HARTflex service.

Route 501 - Town N' Country (Will replace Neighborhood Connector Route 88)
Route 502 - Carrollwood
Route 503 - Temple Terrace
Route 504 - Seffner
Route 505 - Northwest Brandon
Route 506 - Northeast Brandon
Route 507 - South Brandon

HARTflex service will begin sometime in spring 2007.

The new HARTflex service is not to be confused with the HART service of the same name provided by HARTplus, as that service only provides flex route services to the elderly and persons with disabilities.
