Downtown Pensacola has new transportation coming to downtown.

Jack Williams of Seville Quarter, along with Quint and Rishy Studer, is providing a free trolley service for the downtown area.

This free, lunchtime trolley will run Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The trolley’s route, resembling the shape of the letter Q, is what sparked the name for the trolley, the “Q”.

“From the Maritime Park, to Seville Quarter, to the SOGO District, the Q’s route will take riders through the most popular parts of downtown,” says Jack Williams, owner of Seville Quarter.

Making the loop approximately every 20 minutes, the Q will start its route at the newly built Maritime Place Office Building by the Maritime Park. From there, the route will continue east on Main Street, north on Tarragona Street, west on Government Street, north on Palafox Place, west on Belmont Street, and south on DeVilliers Street, completing the route back to Maritime Place.

Plans for the trolley are to run from November through the holiday season. Popularity and ridership of the Q during the months of November and December will determine it’s running schedule after the first of the year.
