Fort Worth Trolley--three routes

Fort Worth Green TrolleyMore Photos

A special way of getting around town is on the green trolleys that are reproductions of those than ran in Fort Worth in the early part of the 20th century. An all-day ticket can be purchased on the trolleys or at the Intermodel Transportation Center (ITC), at 9th and Jones streets downtown. This is the station where the Trinity Railway Express stops.

At this time, an all-day bus/trolley ticket costs $2--a bargain for sure!

There are three routes. Route 16 covers downtown, the downtown hotels, and offers a free lunch shuttle up and down the major streets of downtown. Look for route numbers 7, 15, and 16 at bus stops. The "T" bus stops are clearly marked with a silver "T" over a blue star.

Route 7 runs to and from downtown out to and through the Cultural District. Avoid hunting for a parking place. Ride the green trolley! The trolley can also help you get up the long hill from the Museum of Modern Art to the Amon Carter Museum of Western Art.

From both downtown and the Cultural District, you can catch Route 15 that runs out to the Historic Stockyards District. Some of the trolley drivers on this route are famous for singing cowboy songs, and they tell you about the sights.

If you want to take a direct route from downtown to the Historic Stockyards District, you can take a bus marked Route 1, which runs from downtown around the Tarrant County Courthouse and then straight north. It takes about 20 minutes from the south end of downtown.

The trolley drivers are fine tour guides and many speak several languages. They are more than willing to give advice on where to visit and how to get there.

The trolleys are air-conditioned and heated.
