HART's bus fleet

As a frequent HARTline commuter, I am extremely baffled as to why HART has so many different types of busses in their fleet. Some of the busses I've been on within the HART system don't even look all that good in my opinion, except the busses that they use for the Commuter Express. Wslupecki 17:09, 20 April 2007 (UTC).

What happened to the revamped local route list?

This page has disapeared...anyone know why? I tried to replace the old list with a new one, bearing HART instead of HARTline and was going to do the same to the express route page also. Wslupecki (talk) 19:59, 7 January 2008 (UTC).

UPDATE: Speedy deletion? Then the express route list should have been ousted too if that was the case. It's just as short...no shorter than the local list...  :( Wslupecki (talk) 20:00, 7 January 2008 (UTC).

Revisions

Almost the entire article has been rewritten and expanded over the course of the last couple weeks. The changes made to the article recently are as follows.

• Route lists for both local and express routes have been integrated into the main article. They were too short to be their own pages.
• A "Future Plans" section has been added and includes BRT proposal, streetcar extension, ITS system, Northwest Transfer Center, TIA Transfer Center, and HARTflex.
• Fixed Neighborhood Connector list has been updated. The prior list was revised prior to November 2007.
• A "Fleet" section has been added with some information and photos of HART's busses. However, this section will need further expansion.

I also would like to give a kudos to those who updated the fleet list, including accurate ID#s for all of HART's buses, as well as the quantity of the active fleet. I have also added a new section for retired vehicles. By the photo reference listed in the table, HART previously had a fleet of GMC RTS buses.

My next step in improving this article will be to list, in more detail, each of the major transfer points, as well as create a table, similar to that of Chicago CTA, and other such articles, for all of HART's routes. I will also soon add a section about the proposed light rail project. Wslupecki (talk) 00:53, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Update: A table has been created to list all HART routes. The table is based on the route table in the Chicago Transit Authority article. I have also updated the fleet table (making the table sortable), as well as added a section regarding HART's light rail project. Wslupecki (talk) 16:04, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

I hate to break this to everyone, but many of those Flxibles and RTS buses were still in service as of 1999. There is no way 37 Gillig Phantoms could replace over 100+ buses. Proof of this is right here.

A majority of them were still in service as of the Fall of 1999. Some Grummans have been retired by the Advantage buses. The RTS-03s were replaced by the Phantoms. Plus looking at pictures that were recently uploaded on Flickr.com I have reason to believe HART did not have 40 Grummans, but less the that. DJ MC CJ (talk) 18:51, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Major Revisions Needed

For anyone who resides in the Tampa Bay region with thorough knowledge of the HART system, I ask for your help in rewriting this article. Many portions are outdated or otherwise off track from Wiki standards. I will do what I can to rewrite the article, but I am no longer active on Wikipedia and only edit pages on occasion due to other obligations. I've put a lot of energy into this page in the past when I was more active and I would hate to see it deleted. Wslupecki (talk) 13:05, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

Reasons for all discontinued lines?

Could you tell the reasons for all discontinued routes? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clrichey (talk • contribs) 00:02, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Revision suggestions

I'd like to recommend the following changes to bring the HART page more in line with notability guidelines and normal flow:

• Eliminate coverage of minute changes to routes.
• Reduce details in Bus Terminals section, potentially use a table instead.
• Delete Awards section.
• Move summaries of subsections in Plans section to respective spots in History, Terminals, and Fleet sections.
• Find local news to cite instead of relying on primary sources.

I will start making some of these changes but would like more input. ElToAn123 (talk) 17:00, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
