Public Transportation

There are plenty of options to get around downtown Tampa. Take a ride in an eco-friendly, open-air, electric vehicle offering door-to-door services with the complimentary, app-based Downtowner. There are even water taxis that traverse the river. The historic streetcars are steadily gaining use as a means for downtown Tampa public transportation, and are a big bonus during major events.
