What is a Trolley Bus?

What is a Trolley Bus?

A trolley bus is similar to a city bus or party bus except for its unique appearance. These iconic modes of transportation are synonymous with San Francisco.

Often confused with cable cars or buses, our trolley bus runs independently, without the need for overhead wires. Most trolley buses have front and rear doors that open similar to a city or school bus.

Seats line both sides of the trolley bus and some designs have standing poles in the center for guests to hold onto.

Classic trolley buses are red and have large windows for guests and tourists to clearly view the scenery as they go by. Trolley buses were once a popular mode of transportation but are now a more nostalgic way to get around major cities or to and from special occasions.

Trolley Buses Offer a Change of Pace

You’ve seen limousines and stretch Hummers pull up to parties. People rent party buses for girl’s night out and weddings. But have you ever heard of someone renting a trolley bus?

This unique mode of transportation is a welcomed break from tradition. Our iconic trolley buses come in both red and white. The classic oak bench seating and brass handrails are both gorgeous and comfortable.

Multi-zone heating and air conditioning guarantee riders remain comfortable throughout the experience. This is a must for brides and wedding parties! You might even get the chance to ring the exterior bell — another classic feature of a trolley bus.

Hang out on the rear porch to take in all the sights and sounds of the city. Renting a trolley bus is an entire experience, not just a way to get to your destination!

Trolley Buses Fit Plenty of People

There’s nothing worse than cramming a few dozen people into a small party van or limousine. If you’re transporting a large group of people, a trolley bus is the perfect choice.

With room for 35 people, our trolley buses can accommodate large wedding parties and corporate events. With professional drivers who put your comfort and needs first, you can expect a fun, safe experience every single ride!

They Have a Nostalgic Appeal

If you want to turn heads and have all of your guests talking at your next event, show up in one of our nostalgic trolley buses. If you didn’t know the answer to, “what is a trolley bus?” before, you know now!

Often described as “quaint”, trolley buses are unique and fun for passengers of all ages.

Traveling at night? No problem! Some of our trolley buses are equipped with LED lighting for safe and easy drop-off and pick-up.

Unlike many limousine companies, we proudly own and operate our trolley cars. At Igport Limos, it’s all bout you. We pride ourselves on offering unmatched customer service.
