All Aboard — Ride the Free King Street Trolley! Leave traffic blues behind! While at work or at play, ride the free King Street Trolley today!

New Operating Schedule, Effective January 5, 2009

The City of Alexandria’s free King Street Trolley transports residents, visitors, and those who work in Old Town, between the King Street 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 10:00 p.m., providing access to accommodations, dining, entertainment and shopping. Every 20 minutes, riders can board at King Street near the Potomac River waterfront, the King Street Metrorail station, or at any of the 20 stops along King Street.

The cheery red and black rubber tire trolleys, sporting old-fashioned interiors, adjustable paned windows, and a distinctive brass bell, are also part of the City’s efforts to manage congestion, reduce mobile emissions, and encourage residents and visitors to choose options other than driving alone.
