Trolley / Tram on Scenic 30A

I love it except for the music/tvs. IMO part of the reason to have these is to cut down on noise pollution and give people a chance to gawk at the gorgeous Sowal scenery without holding up traffic/causing accidents.

I am really excited about this idea. I don't like to drink and drive so I don't go to far from home. Someone else said something in reference to that also. Cabs are expensive and if they charge or not, I'm all for it. Great idea!

I love this -- but, like scooter bug, think the tv's aren't a great idea! I know that a way to sell advertising -- I'd rather charge riders!

I love having a shuttle from ECP airport to 30A. It seems that it's available only during spring break. Is it available at other times of the year as well?

I wish the best to Sunshine Shuttle and Limousine. I like the look of the shuttle bus - fits with 30A.

I'm fine with advertising on some parts of the shuttle, as long as it's artsy and they then use those funds to provide the shuttle service free or at very low cost.

Sunshine Shuttle and Limousine: Scenic 30a Trolley!!!

We'll see if this works.

how adorable..


Love the A/C idea and don't mind the music or tvs - don't think it will distract from the scenery much.

I love exploring 30A and don't always want to do it by car. Riding my bike one way about 8 miles isn't bad, but the return trip can be a challenge in the heat of the summer. And we have to stop and look. We're not road warriors. We do put our bikes in our van, drive to a distant location like Topsail or Rosemary and explore by bike. Would love to explore the gulf and other shops that are inbetween the villages/communities. I think they will benefit the most. It will allow me to check for new places to stay, their beach access, etc.
Can't wait

I know the tvs are a good way to advertise, I am just fighting a losing battle against them being EVERYWHERE.

Can't wait for the shuttle to start!

I have been a property owner in Seagrove for 10yrs now and was thinking about this. I have a 15 person shuttle. Although not as cute as an open air trolley it's not ugly either, and would be designed on the outside to resemble 30A as much as possible. I had ideas of running times from 10:00am-2:00am. $2.00 a ride or $5.00 day pass. Would also take phone calls from people requesting rides, could carry bikes, wheel chair, and would work with all the local businesses. Not sure if the TDC, locals, and local government would approve of this. If the other trolley service falls through and if there was interest I would look into it more. Thank you for your input.

I haven't seen anywhere on this thread the question of where these vehicles plan on stopping. Will there be cut-outs off 30a to use while bikes, wheelchairs, beach stuff, etc. are loaded and off-loaded or will they just block a lane of 30a and make the rest of us wait on them? Can you legally pass a vehicle such as this while it is doing its business - remember the kids - or will they be like school buses? Rather than speed things along I suspect they will only add to the congestion problem. I suspect they will be a novelty for a while but in the end people will opt for the convenience of a car or LSV. A boondoogle probably being supported by taxpayers in the end.
