The free downtown Hopper Trolley service, originally scheduled to conclude this month, will be extended through June 2024.
Since the pilot program began in mid-July, more than 25,000 passengers have taken a ride.
“The public response to the Hopper has been remarkable,” said Greensboro Transit Director Reginald Mason. “We’re thrilled to see people out using the trolley to explore new parts of downtown – be it for dining or other entertainment. We encourage folks to try the Hopper to ‘hop ‘n’ shop’ this holiday season. Riders will be treated to candy canes while supplies last.”
The Hopper Trolley runs Thursdays through Saturdays from noon until 12 midnight and Sundays from 12 noon until 10 pm. See a route map and a live trolley tracker at www.greensboro-nc.gov/hopper.
The trolley route is centered along the Elm Street corridor with an arrival frequency averaging between 5-7 minutes. Trolley stops include: the South Elm Street/Union Square area, the Tanger Center, Center City Park, and the LoFi Park area, as well as several major downtown employers. The route also connects with several existing Greensboro Transit Agency (GTA) routes.
