Panama City Beach - Trolley Update

With a little bit of luck and a lot of hard work, the Pier Park Express will hit the streets running this summer.
Anticipating the usual traffic congestion on the Beach, a group of Bay County business leaders and Greater Panama City Beaches Chamber of Commerce officials have been working for several months to establish weekend Bay Town Trolley service for tourists, resort employees and residents.
The current concept calls for a “Pier Park Express” route running between the Beach Wal-Mart and Pier Park along Middle Beach and Front Beach roads. The plan calls for two trolley vehicles driving back and forth on a minimum-stop route across the city from 10 a.m. until midnight Saturday and Sunday.
A workshop on the express service has been scheduled May 22 at the TPO office in Panama City.
If the committee is able to launch the new express, it will mark the second increase in Bay Town Trolley service this year. In April, the trolley expanded its weekday service with two evening hours of operation from 6 to 8 p.m.

This will be a nice addition to service if it works!
