Do you love walking around downtown Ocala but hate the walking part of it? Well, thanks to Ocala Main Street you can skip some of that. The soft launch of the free downtown trolley cart service has been a huge success! Some seem to be confused as to why people are driving around a couple of golf carts offering rides to people walking down the street. That gets cleared up quickly with the clearly marked signs all over each of the four-seater carts. In its debut on Sept. 15 and 16, more than 150 people rode on the trolley carts.

The carts were donated by Cart World and they have committed to donating six-seater golf carts when the need arises, which based on performance so far, has the potential of happening soon.

The service is free since it is provided by volunteers. If you would like to volunteer your Friday or Saturday night from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. to provide some much-needed transportation to your neighbors here in Ocala, contact Ocala Main Street on their Facebook page. I’ve already signed up for a Saturday night, so maybe one of those drivers offering you a ride this month will be me!
