Tips & Advice
- Use the real-time trolley tracker to see when the next one is coming, since the trolley loops the full route about every 30 minutes.
- Bring a stroller that collapses or fits in the seating area, because there's no onboard storage and nothing can go in the aisle.
- Leave your bike at home for a Holly Trolley outing, because bikes aren't allowed on board and there's nowhere to store them.
- Take the Union Pacific West Metra line into Elmhurst from Chicago, then hop on the trolley to reach shops and restaurants without a car.
- If you leave something on board, call the 24-hour trolley dispatch run by Aries Charter for lost and found.
Special Events & Promotions
- The trolley is celebrating its 10th season this year.
