Why Trolley Systems?

In recent years, there has been a steady growth of transportation services offering viable alternatives to the scheduled, fixed-route services available in urban areas. In addition, public transportation services are beginning to appear more often in rural areas. These developments have increased the need for vehicles smaller than the standard thirty-five or forty-foot transit bus.  Example Trolley System

The use of small transit vehicles is increasing, as both small and large transportation providers are finding the vehicles appropriate in a variety of service environments. Small transit vehicles are advantageous over standard transit buses in several ways. They are more maneuverable/easier to drive; more cost effective when passenger demand is low; quieter; and generally more attractive to passengers and communities.

Why Turn-Key Setup?

Unlike their big-city counterparts, few rural communities have the expertise and resources required in planning and executing a successful transportation program. Our turnkey setup offers several distinct advantages over traditional specifying and contracting procedures. Development times can be reduced, costs pegged and minimized from the outset, without the delays and concerns of bringing inexperienced staff up to speed.
