Tampa's Streetcars in Ybor City

Tampa StreetcarsCompliments of Dawn Henthorn
Tampa is enjoying the nostalgic charm of the streetcar with the TECO Line Streetcar System. The streetcars are replicas of the original Birney Safety Cars that shuttled passengers around Tampa beginning in 1892. Although popular, those came to a halt in 1946.

The new streetcars connect downtown to the port, The Tampa Aquarium, Convention Center, St. Pete Times Forum and Historic Ybor City pictured here.
