After a successful second season, the city of Gainesville has announced the return of the Gainesville Trolleys for the summer of 2024. The service will run from May 4 to Sept. 7, and will connect two routes – Dixon and Glenwood/Riverside neighborhoods.

The trolleys will operate from 5:30 to 10:30 pm Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. The first pick-up will take place at 5:30 pm in front of Kilwins located at 106 Spring St. SE in the Gainesville Renaissance development. The last pick-up will occur at 10:30 pm at the same location.

The trolleys transported nearly 19,000 passengers in 2023. That’s a near 100% increase over its launch year, according to Gainesville-Hall County Community Service Center Director Phillippa Lewis Moss, who oversees Hall Area Transit.
Soon after the trolleys hit the road this year, Moss said the city will share details surrounding additional routes for spring/summer 2024. ”We are looking forward to continuing this successful offering and connecting even more people to the city’s thriving and vibrant downtown, which has become a popular destination for many in North Georgia,” Moss said.
