Lou Cap - Jolley Trolley - 1/23/10

I spoke with Rosemary from the Jolley Trolley this evening.
We can either use the rate of $100 /hour running every 1/2 hour with a charge for riders of $4 per person and $2 for seniors. After 3 hours, the rate is reduced to $70 /hour. This seems to be a regular rate and would not go into SK park.
or

Have a 8-10 hour span continuous loop from the marina park to the sand key park . We would be able to direct the route to wherever we would like including inside Sand Key Park . 8 hours would be $560 and 10 hours would be $700 with no fare required.  We would need a sign of some sort for the trolley alerting folks that this is for the Spring Fest only.

Those are the prices for a non profit organization charter.  I think the second choice is the best since there isn’t any fare and at a much better rate.
Anyone going to the beaches in Clearwater will take the regular trolley that will have the regular fare.
