Council chair announces trolley will run Thursday through Sunday with docent program
Summary
The council chair said the Yachats trolley—previously weekend-only and carrying about 100 riders each weekend—will expand to Thursday–Sunday service and include Saturday docent talks from Cape Perpetua; the ride is free and trackable on the city's site.
The council chair opened the meeting by highlighting an expansion of the town's free trolley service, saying it had been “running on Saturdays and Sundays and carrying about a 100 people each weekend” and will now run Thursday through Sunday. He said that, starting this week, Saturdays will include a docent from Cape Perpetua to present on the area's ecology and history and invited residents and visitors to use the service and the city website to track the vehicle.
The chair framed the change as a small but tangible improvement to local transportation and tourism access. The announcement included a ridership figure (about 100 per weekend) and an operational change (added service days and a Saturday docent); the city encouraged riders to plan ahead via the city’s online trolley tracker.
