Muskegon County proposes additional trolley route this summer for downtown

Muskegon County proposes additional trolley route this summer for downtown | MLive.com
Transit System Manager Jim Koens said the proposed second route is seen as an opportunity to help people get around downtown.
He said the county has operated multiple trolley routes previously, but it has operated just one route from the downtown to Lake Michigan over the last five years.
The cost is estimated at less than $8,000 for a seasonal bus operator.
Koens said the cost is expected to be paid for through rider fares and grant sources.
The county owns six trolleys, three for the route systems and three for rentals as the Muskegon Trolley Company.
The Beach/Towne trolley route garnered 4,294 passengers last year.
