FL: Jolley Trolley to Add Northern Pinellas Routes in the Fall, but Competitors Cry Foul
Electric people-movers could soon arrive at doorsteps as part of a Jolley Trolley expansion into the neighborhoods of north Pinellas County.
But competitors worry the new line could put taxis and tip-encouraged carts out of business. Though fares and advertising pay up to 40 percent of the Jolley Trolley's expenses, the service receives $500,000 a year in city and PSTA grants.
"I can't help feeling like we're competing against all of Pinellas County government," Gibertoni said. "This is an all-out assault on private transportation."
