Corbin Downtown Director Andy Salmons said Tuesday that the anticipated route schedule calls for the trolley to operate along the 16-stop route between Trademart Shopping Center and the hotels near Exit 25 between 8 a.m. and 8:10 p.m. Monday through Friday. \u201cWe had to time out what the longest transit was from one stop to another,\u201d Salmons said when asked how the schedule was developed. \u201cFive minutes was a really easy window.\u201d Salmons said while the trolley initially began operating at 11 a.m., the decision was made to start at 8 a.m. in response to feedback both directly and on the Corbin Downtown Facebook page. \u201cIt came down to what we were hearing,\u201d Salmons said. \u201cThere was a strong demand from local people to have it running earlier in the morning.\u201d As a result, something had to give, and Salmons said it meant stopping service at 8:10 p.m. \u201cI wanted it to go to about 9:30 p.m. but we couldn\u2019t work it out with the staff we have,\u201d Salmons said. Salmons said there is no specific time period to operate the schedule and the route, but said it will be re-evaluated and changes made where warranted. \u201cWe want to let it be stable for a while and see what the real ridership is,\u201d Salmons said \u201cWe are willing to explore changing up and adding stops because we want to go where the need is,\u201d Salmons added. Salmons said when the trolley was launched; the question of scheduling was one of the biggest questions he received, especially from the hotel managers as it takes the trolley an hour-and-a-half to make the circuit. Salmons said the cost for a day pass to ride the trolley would remain $1 for the immediate future. \u201cThere will be a rate increase as the system stabilizes,\u201d Salmons said. Salmons said he would continue to look for guidance from city officials concerning what they expect from the trolley concerning the service it offers and the measure of success. \u201cDo they want it to be making money or a public service?\u201d Salmons said. \u201cThey need to tell me what success looks like. Is it 20 riders a day? Is it 50? If we are not hitting that metric by a certain point, then we need to look at discontinuing operations or changing the route.\u201d Salmons said while he can see the benefits the trolley can have to Corbin, he is also realistic about it. \u201cIf it is not working, we need to do something else,\u201d Salmons said."}
