There is about one week left to ride the Old San Luis Obispo Trolley during the holidays. It’s the first time it’s been on route since the COVID-19 pandemic.

The trolley plays Christmas music in December as it runs through the city’s downtown area.

Alex Fuchs is with the city’s transit department. He said that the trolley is a beloved part of the community.

“I think people really enjoy it whether they ride it or not,” Fuchs said. “People like seeing it going around because I think to them it brings back sort of feeling of olden times.”

For less than a dollar, passengers can ride the trolley while its decorated in holiday lights. It runs about every 30 minutes. It is operated from 5 to 9 p.m. on Thursdays and 12 to 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

Fuchs says that SLO Transit is looking to see if the trolley can run year-round.
