They note suffering ridership, yet in the same story it is stated that service still begins for the day at 12 Noon.   Does anyone see anything wrong with that picture?   They miss out on an entire morning rush hour as well as taking people to activities in the late morning hours.  The TECO Line Streetcar needs to be considered more as a transit line and less as a tourist attraction.  Yes, expansion to where people need to go will help too, but service also needs to be provided WHEN people need to travel.  Another consideration is that the old Channelside district has closed for redevelopment, so that passenger generator was lost.
