COAST operates the Downtown Loop, but there are several other trolley options.
COAST's Downtown Loop service operates every half-hour from Market Square on the route shown at right.
COAST also operates two year-round trolley routes through the city: The Pease Tradeport Trolley (COAST route 40) and the Lafayette Road Trolley (COAST route 41).
There is also seasonal trolley tour service provided by our friends at Seacoast Trolley. The Seacoast Trolley company is NOT affiliated with COAST. Seacoast Trolley service operates through to Rye, NH.
To our knowledge, there is no service at this time connecting to Hampton Beach, nor is there connecting service to Kittery, York, or other points in Maine.
COAST trolleys are NOT available for private tours, charters, weddings, or other special services, because we are a federally-supported public operation. For such services, you should contact the Seacoast Trolley company.
