Beat the heat on the Downtown Trolley
You may have noticed the disappearance of the red Downtown Trolleys. The Blue Bird buses are temporarily taking their place while we await the brand new trolleys later this year! We look forward to the new trolleys, but for now the Blue Birds are here for your convenience, following the same route and providing a much needed break from the increasing heat. Take it easy and hop on the Downtown Trolley!
