said her group will try to raise funds to expand those hours. "There is clearly a demand for a shuttle service during weekend nights and there should be dinner-time traffic," Gagalis said.

"We need to develop that linkage between the aquarium, convention center, downtown hotels and Ybor City so we can continue to develop the Ybor City district" said Scott Rolston, manager of the Ybor Square mall. "This will be a great way for downtown business people to come and enjoy the number of restaurants and shops without having to worry about parking or wasting gas."
