Flamingo Fares is a mobile application designed to be the primary method for paying transit fares in the Tampa Bay area. It allows users to purchase and manage various fare options, including daily and monthly passes, directly from their smartphone.
Key features include expanded fare options, a 'save as you ride' system that ensures you never pay more than a day or month pass, easy account access for purchasing passes, balance protection for registered cards, and an auto-reload function to ensure you always have fare available.
The Flamingo Fares app itself is free to download and use. The cost associated with the app is for the transit fares and passes you purchase through it. There are no additional fees for using the app for payment.
Currently, Flamingo Fares is available for transit in Hernando (TheBus), Hillsborough (HART), Pasco (PCPT), and Pinellas (PSTA/Jolley Trolley) counties. This allows for a unified payment system across these participating areas.
The Flamingo Fares app is designed specifically for use on smartphone devices. Attempting to use it on other mobile devices like tablets or iPads may lead to payment failures, and you would need to use an alternative payment method.
