Free Lunchtime Trolley Service Begins
February 12, 2015
GREENVILLE, SC – Greenlink will debut Lunchlink, its new Friday lunchtime trolley service, tomorrow with a route that travels a continuous loop from Greenville County Square to the Hyatt Regency on North Main Street. The service is free and will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. each Friday. The trolley route will begin at Greenville County Square, turn right on University Ridge, right on Howe Street, left on Bradshaw Street, right on Augusta Street, left on Field Street, right on Markley Street and right on South Main Street. The trolley will travel along Main Street, turn left on College Street at the Hyatt Regency, right on Townes Street, right on Elford Street, then right on North Main Street, traveling back to Augusta Street.
Lunchlink is a pilot program designed to help gauge demand for lunchtime trolley service in the Central Business District. It will also serve as a first step toward expanded trolley service, which is referenced in Greenlink’s Transit Vision and Master Plan and five-year Marketing Plan.
Greenlink began operation of the downtown trolleys in August 2014 under a partnership agreement between Greenlink, the City of Greenville and the Greenville Drive. Two trolleys operate year round with service in the Central Business District from the West End to the Colonel Elias Earle Historic District.
