Greenlink wants to increase ridership on the free downtown trolley by 20% from June to December, and they’re making some changes to achieve it.
“If we can’t pick up another 1,500 people with the trolley on Main Street in six or seven months, then we probably don’t need to have a trolley on Main Street,” Greenlink Executive Director James Keel said, according to The Post and Courier Greenville.
What’s changing?
Starting May 1, you’ll see a streamlined loop running on Main Street with turnarounds at East North Street and Wardlaw Street. The new route no longer serves spots like Unity Park, the library, or West Greenville.
The goal is quicker, more reliable service where the action is. Two trolleys will run continuously (no fixed schedule), making it easier to hop on and off between shops, restaurants, and events — even when Main Street is closed to cars.

I didn’t know much about her breed, or how to best care for her. Thanks to Embark’s Breed + Health Dog DNA Test, that’s all changed. I’ve learned Meredith is a mix of American Pit Bull, Australian Cattle Dog, Dalmatian, and that she may be at higher risk for Intervertebral Disc Disease. Now I can take proactive steps to support her health — like keeping her on a balanced diet and opting for a harness over a collar to help reduce strain on her spine.
Try Embark for your dog, discover their unique DNA, and give them the best possible care.
I try my best not to give you FOMO (fear of missing out) because I pack our Plan Ahead with Greenville’s best events each month, hoping you’ll attend them with me. This weekend was a busy one with Southern Roots on Saturday and Tacos n Tequila on Sunday. If you missed them, euphoria’s Spring Fest is next, starting with Sip into Spring this Thursday.
