How to apply for HART Discount Flamingo Card (Senior Reduced Fare)

Who it's for

HART runs fixed-route bus service across Hillsborough County (Tampa, Plant City, Brandon, USF area), and seniors age 65 and older qualify for the Discount Flamingo Card — a personalized fare card that drops each one-way trip from the standard adult cash fare down to $1.00. The Discount Flamingo Card is the senior version of HART's modern Flamingo Fares contactless card system; once enrolled, you tap the card at the farebox and the discounted rate applies automatically. To enroll, bring proof of age 65+ (Florida driver's license, Florida State ID, U.S. passport, or Medicare card) to the Retail Sales window at the Marion Transit Center (1211 N Marion Street, Tampa) or the University Area Transit Center (13110 N 27th Street, Tampa). The card is printed on the spot with your name and photo and is valid indefinitely once issued.
