Centro Ybor (formerly known as Tampa Bay Federal Credit Union) is a TECO Line streetcar station in historic Ybor City. The station has one island platform, located on a passing siding, that allows for trams to pass by each other on the single track line.[1] Just west of the stations, there are two pedestrian overpasses over 8th Avenue that are part of the Centro Ybor complex.[1][2]
