The Heart of Brooklyn (HOB) Connection is a new free shuttle connecting central Brooklyn’s cultural institutions: Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Brooklyn Children’s Museum, Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Public Library, Prospect Park, and Prospect Park Zoo.
There are three programs, which are hop-on/hop-off rides featuring tour guides, coupon books for local restaurants and shops, and maps and brochures from Brooklyn cultural attractions. Museum Mile to Brooklyn Style picks up passengers outside of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Sundays; Saturday Scene runs continuous loops from Bay Ridge, Red Hook, and Williamsburg, depending on the Saturday, to all the cultural institutions; and Target First Saturdays Shuttle carries riders between the Brooklyn Museum and places to eat, drink, and shop in surrounding neighborhoods,
