Trolley
The Interurban Trolley provides fixed-route bus service to the general public operating five fixed routes. The Trolley provides easy, affordable public transit along the corridors connecting Elkhart and Goshen as well as major points of commerce between the two cities.
Rider's Guide
Catching the Trolley
Wait for the Trolley at any signed stop or standing AFTER any intersection along the route. Wave at the Trolley so the driver knows you would like to board. Plan on arriving to the stop 5 to 10 minutes early if possible. The Trolley operates on a flag stop system so you may board anywhere along the route.
Riding the Trolley
You must have the exact fare ready or a valid Interurban Trolley Pass (the Yellow Line Mishawaka/Elkhart Route also accepts Transpo Passes) to give to the driver when boarding the Trolley. If you need to ride multiple trolleys in one day purchase a Day Pass from the driver for $2.00 when you board your first trolley. Free transfers are no longer issued.
Getting off the Trolley
Pull the stop request cord by the windows to inform the driver to stop at the next available location. Once the Trolley stops, exit as quickly and safely as you can. Be sure to carry all personal belongings with you upon exiting the Trolley.
