Jolley Trolley Creates ‘On Demand’ Service for Clearwater Beach

The direct ride service complements the regular Jolley Trolley services, according to Bob Longenecker, trolley president.

The Jolley Trolley recently launched an 'On Demand' service for Clearwater Beach residents.

Jolley Trolley On Demand uses a smartphone application to notify drivers when a passenger wants a pick up.

The On Demand service uses golf-cart type, slow moving, electric vehicles, which are not ADA compliant. There is also a vehicle that looks like an Excaliber kit car and another that looks like a Jeep.

Cost for a ride is $6 anywhere on Clearwater Beach for up to five people. It is $8 to Sand Key and Island Estates, which uses a van to navigate the Memorial Causeway.

“It’s going to take some work,” Longenecker said regarding letting concierges know about the service and how to use it. “It’s going to work well. It’s just going to take a little bit of training.”
