Port Huron Trolley Ready for Passengers

The Blue Water Area Transit trolley is back, and residents and visitors can take a 5 or 10 cent ride around the city of Port Huron.

The trolley offers a one-hour ride that takes passengers to over 50 points of interest around the area. The regular fare is 10 cents per rider, but senior citizens (60 and up) and persons with disability or valid Medicare cards can ride for 5 cents.

To take a full tour, passengers can catch a ride at the Downtown Blue Water Transit Bus Center across from McMorran place and stay on for the whole ride or get on and off at 17 points along the route.

Dave McElroy, Blue Water Transit general manager, said, “The Trolley offers an overview of local history aboard an old-time trolley vehicle for only 10 cents which is the amount patrons paid in 1886 for the area’s first local transit service!”
