## What is DASH Tampa Microtransit?

The Downtown Area Shared Hubs (DASH) program is an on-demand, hub-based ridesharing service that makes it easier for people to get around Tampa's Downtown. With multiple pick-up/drop-off (hubs), DASH is helping users make transit connections, rethink their commutes, and enjoy everything Downtown has to offer. 

How it works: 
-Request a ride on your phone, entering where you are and where you want to go.
-Through the app, you'll be directed to your nearest pickup point (hub)
-One of our trained Driver Ambassadors will pick you up and you'll be taken to the hub closest to your final destination. 

What to expect: 
- Our drivers are not only great at navigating Downtown, but are also trained ambassadors. They can tell you about the latest events, restaurant recommendations, or new things to do Downtown. 
- DASH is a hub-to-hub system, meaning we don't pick up or drop off at the door; we do this to ensure affordability, efficiency and because there are already services that offer this.  
- Rides may be shared, sometime you may be going to the same hub as someone else. Don't worry you'll always have your own seat and personal space.

Calling and emailing them doesn't work

### 3/5 — Never drivers available

*2026-06-09*

Tampa downtown partnership is neglecting this service. Also cramming 5 people in a car is too much.

Tells me I should walk instead of using service. What?

### 1/5 — Fire this app creator.

*2025-11-06*

This app has terrible routing and gps pickups are often wrong. How is this company not being replaced? Nothing has been fixed after months. 4 people for pickup is incredibly stupid.

### 5/5 — Maps

*2025-09-04*

The new app is absolutely horrendous thank God your drivers are so fantastic.

### 1/5 — New app is terrible.  Service and drivers thankfully is towing the line

*2025-07-25*

I don’t understand why someone decides to break what is working.  Clearly it wasn’t trial run and just pushed without trial runs with riders or drivers.  The previous app did everything needed for commuting in such a small downtown area.  The new app is misjudges geo areas, isn’t user friendly when selecting pick up/drop off points and makes the DASH system confusing.  Go back to what worked and stop breaking things that function properly.

### 1/5 — App Review and Not the Service

*2025-06-20*

Worst App
The previous app was much better. The Drivers and service is really good but the way app behaves is crazy. Shows very very incorrect time for pickup. Adding pickup and drop address is always pain when want to book in advance (i e when on different locations) If you are not picking up at exact location and service is hub to hub they should only keep hubs in a option for pick and drop menu. Did not like app at all.

### 1/5 — Bad routing in new app

*2025-06-13*

App has terrible routing and gps pickups are often wrong. Also cramming 4 strangers into a car is not ideal. I’d rather just wait for the next car than be packed in.
