NEW SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!

'Go Green…with the Sun Trolley Lunch Time Shuttle'

Starting Monday, May 14, 2007, Sun Trolley introduces the New Lunch Time Shuttle, providing access from the Broward County Government Center & downtown office towers to Riverfront/Himmarshee & Las Olas restaurants and shops without patrons
having to drive, find & pay for parking. This initiative supports the Greening of Downtown Fort Lauderdale, with our Bio-Diesel trolleys, a fuel efficient alternative to multiple auto trips.

Sun Trolley Saves Green Backs, too. Not only does the Lunch Time Shuttle provide a more cost effective alternative to the cost of travel & parking using automobiles, it also is FREE until Monday, July 2, 2007. This saves riders the usual $.50 fare per ride, still a bargain.

"One of the many exciting features of our Downtown is the ability to take clients to lunch or meet coworkers without having to get back in our car. The lunch trolley will allow us to visit more businesses in downtown in a fun and convenient way," said Chris Wren Executive Director of the Downtown Development Authority.

The Lunch Time Shuttle operates from 11:30a to 2:30p, Monday through Friday. The shuttle operates every 10 minutes and can be 'waved down', 'hailed' or 'flagged down' anywhere along its route.

Some key points of interest the shuttle travels by include:

• Broward County Government Center
• Las Olas Riverfront
• Sun-Sentinel office tower
• Stranahan House
• Las Olas Shops
• Broward County Main Library

Sun Trolley provides Access to Green Spaces as well. Take the Lunch Time Shuttle and lunch at one of our Downtown Parks that the trolley travels near:

• Riverfront Linear Park
• Huizenga Plaza
• Stranahan Park

So, take the Sun Trolley and Go Green during Lunch Time in downtown Fort Lauderdale.

Sun Trolley transit services are provided through a joint partnership
with the City of Fort Lauderdale, Broward County Transit, the Downtown
Development Authority, Florida Department of Transportation, and the
Metropolitan Planning Organization.
