Water Taxis in Tampa's Future?
Posted by Alex Pickett on Mon, Jul 7, 2008 at 4:12 PM
Back in May, I looked at water taxis/ferries as a mode of public transit for Tampa Bay. It's an innovative idea that has been resurrected many times locally, but always fell flat to finances or bureaucracy.
Well, we just might see one in the near future.
As Times correspondent Alan Snel reports, developer Darren Booth wants to create a water taxi service based out of his Heights project on the city's riverfront. The water taxi, which would cost $5, would ferry passengers to venues in downtown Tampa.
All in all, it looks like a good plan. But only if people use it.
So, my question is this: If Booth initiates this water taxi to service places like the Tampa Convention Center, St. Pete Times Forum, Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center and Channelside, would you use it? Is $5 a good deal for not having to worry about parking at each venue?

Since you have to pay (usually an exorbitant sum) to park at most of those venues, taking a water taxi would actually probably save money. Also, it's is a more convenient (and safer) alternative to driving after a few (or, let's be honest, more than a few) drinks at the game/concert/club. So, yes, I think people would use the water taxi. I know I would.

No one likes a Windows XP slow startup.When you startup your computer you want it to be ready to use immediately. I can not make it that fast, but I can help you fix Windows XP slow startup.First step to fix Windows XP slow startup is to find out what programs are loading when you startup Windows XP. To do this click start, run, then type in msconfig and hit enter. Look at the Boot.ini tab. In the box labeled Timeout change the time from the default 30 to 3. This changes how long it waits to before booting.
