The Hillsborough Area Regional Transit Authority is expected to begin service April 12 on the county's first community-based bus service, which would allow people near new routes through Brandon and Wimauma-Sun City Center to call for pickup at their homes.
HARTFlex would operate along a designated route with official stops. Vehicles would go up to three-quarters of a mile from the designated route to pick up customers who call to request a trip from seven days to three hours before the desired trip time.
The van-based service will be open to all passengers.
Fares will be 85 cents for a one-way trip or $1.85 for a one-day pass.
Passengers connecting to other HART routes will be able to purchase local and express day passes from the operator.
The service will operate from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, plus from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday in Brandon.
The HART staff will review the pilot project and recommend possible expansion of the service in November.
