Yellow Cab TECO Line Streetcar System
The
TECO Line Streetcar runs from Ybor City, where many
hotels with cruise packages are located to Downtown Tampa, along Channelside Drive, where the cruise terminals are located. The streetcars are FREE to ride, and operate every 15 minutes, starting at 7:00am Monday through Friday, and 8:30am on Saturday and Sunday. The streetcars are also wheelchair accessible, with a ramp at each station. The closest streetcar stop to Terminals 2 & 3 is Cumberland Avenue Station (stop #7), and then it's a quick 3 minute walk to the terminals. The closest streetcar stop to Terminal 6 is Publix Station (stop #5) or York Street Station (stop #6), and then it's a short walk to the entrance at Kennedy Blvd. Much like a public bus, the streetcars require a pull on the overhead cord in order to make a stop.
