The City of Alexandria's free King Street Trolley transports residents, visitors, and those who work in Old Town, between the King Street - Old Town Metrorail Station and the Potomac River waterfront.  The free trolley operates along the one-and-a-half mile route seven days a week from 11:30 a.m. to 10:15 p.m. providing access to accommodations, dining, entertainment and shopping.  The free trolley departs from the Potomac River Waterfront and from the King Street  - Old Town Metro every :00, :15,  :30, and :45 minutes after each hour.  Every 15 minutes riders can board at any of the 20 stops along King Street.

Please remember there is no smoking, eating, or drinking on the trolley. Passengers with strollers must close strollers before entering. The trolley only stops at designated stops.  Passengers must pull the cord to signal a stop.

Accessibility:  Trolleys that are painted red and black with the King Street Trolley design are equipped with wheelchair lifts.  Substitute trolleys, which are used only in situations where a permanent trolley is not available due to mechanical issues, have the King Street Trolley banner and are not equipped with wheelchair lifts.  Riders may need to wait at the stop for the next accessible trolley.  Most trolleys are equipped to provide automated stop announcements.
