Hillsborough Area Regional Transit is reshuffling its deck this summer, rolling out systemwide schedule and route changes on June 7, 2026 that will cut three services while pumping more buses into a busy Brandon corridor. Riders on Routes 24LX, 25LX and the HARTFlex South County service will lose those direct runs, and several local routes will see timetable changes as HART tries to shift service toward its most heavily used corridors and tighten up on-time performance.
According to HART, the package takes effect June 7, and updated schedules for the affected lines are already posted. The agency specifically highlights Route 38 in Brandon, which will step up to 30-minute weekday service while other lines get more subtle schedule tweaks.
What Is Getting Cut and Where Riders Are Being Sent
HART confirms the shutdown of Routes 24LX and 25LX along with the HARTFlex South County service, and directs some Brandon riders toward the all-day Route 360LX as a replacement. In the same project notes, the agency points riders losing direct buses toward vanpool programs and the county's door-to-door service as possible alternatives.
Schedule Shifts Across the Network
The service package also tweaks timing on Routes 5, 7, 8, 9, 12, 30, 33, 37, 38, 45, 46, 48 and 360LX. HART has posted fresh PDFs and stop maps for these routes so riders can see exactly how their trips will change. For the full lineup of timetables and route maps, visit HART.
How To Get Your Commute Sorted Before June
Riders affected by the cuts are being urged to grab the updated PDFs for their routes, scout out transfer options ahead of time and consider Route 360LX if it lines up with their start or end points. HART's customer service line at (813) 254-4278 is open for questions, and the agency points to regional vanpool programs and the county's door-to-door service for those who qualify; see Sunshine Line and Commute with Enterprise for details.
How The Plan Moved Forward
The changes follow several months of outreach last fall and were bundled for board action in February 2026, according to HART. Those planning documents show maps of the park-and-ride lots losing direct service and spell out suggested alternatives that HART says are meant to preserve key links while shifting more buses into denser corridors.
The new schedules kick in on June 7, leaving riders roughly five weeks to adjust their routines. For now, anyone unsure about what this means for their commute is being steered to HART's updated timetable PDFs and customer service. This story will be updated as additional rider alerts and detours are posted ahead of the switchover.
