emanthehouseboy Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Great news! Getting to and from the island without a car is happening! Mayor Yarbrough told the audience that the City of Galveston is striving to be Galveston Proud! The new Transportation Terminal is open.The fixed route trolley service is coming back and there will be new amenities along the route. Rubber tire trolley buses will also be deployed to compliment the fixed route service and provide new connections in the city.

The resolution supports a partnership between Texas City, Galveston, and Galveston County to pursue funding for an intercity bus service between Galveston, Texas City and Houston METRO’s Bay Area Park & Ride.
