Riverside Trolley/Luminaria Schedule

Did anyone use the Riverside/Avondale Trolley Sunday night? I know it wasn't a tour, just wondering if anyone took advantage of the service to check out the event.

I did...rode it back and forth from downtown...went pretty smoothly

The trolley went by me like 5 times it didn't seem like there were many riders. Looked on time though.

Ock - I have to break down and say, you are right! Those Trolley buses are ugly and NOISY as all you know what. I think that tin can is noisier than the regular buses that run down St. Johns Avenue. Was at the Brick last night and my wife and I heard those things and they sound god-awful, they need to be retired and/or used as reefs in the Atlantic. They are hideous for sound. Surely JTA can do better.........then I remember, this is JTA.

They are also so short and top heavy that the ride is awful too.  They need to replace the silly things with the same buses that they are using for the Community Shuttles at least.

Steel wheels on steel rails are smoooooth and quiet.

Which trolleys were making all the noise? The older ones with black/teal or the newer ones JTA uses for regualr Beaches and Riverside Trolley? Did they add trolleys to run the service more frequently during the event?

The green ones made by Gillig.  The community shuttles look like really plush school buses.

Here's a short video of the start of this year's bike ride:

Not to mention that the entire PCT fleet rides like potato wagons!  There is really only one logical use for these multi-level-floor things...  The new Gillig huh? Who would have thunk it?
