New Riverside Trolley — RIDE FREE!

The new Riverside Trolley service is set to begin running Monday, May 5, 2008 and you can ride for free. The first two weeks (May 5 –May 16) are free to get you used to the plan and get you hooked.

The service is brought to you by the JTA
• to reduce traffic congestion and addresses parking issues
• to connect restaurants, shops and businesses
• to support future Riverside area development
• to address interest from major employers and employees along Riverside Avenue

Features
• operates Monday -Friday from 10:45 am to 2:30 pm
• arrives every 10 minutes
• low cash fare of $.50 each way
• Seniors 60 years or older ride Free

The service comes courtesy of a grant by the FDOT and will fund the service for the first year. We need to have a minimum of ten passengers per hour to keep the service running. That shouldn't be too hard!
