Funding for the purchase of the two trolley buses was provided through donations from downtown businesses to the City of Racine for the express purpose of acquiring two rubber tire replica trolley buses. The vehicles were acquired in 1991 and are owned and operated by the City of Racine, Belle Urban System, in accordance with guidelines and regulations of the Federal Transit Administration.
The current trolley service runs in the downtown area between Memorial Day and Labor Day. One vehicle runs from Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. On Friday and Saturday, the Pub and Grub service runs in the downtown area from 4:00 PM to midnight. The fare at all times is $0.25 per ride. The service provides downtown shuttle service for residents, downtown workers, visitors and marina residents to restaurants, pubs, the art district, the library, museums and other downtown attractions. On Friday and Saturday evenings, the pub and grub service provides transportation to more than 15 downtown restaurants, numerous pubs and taverns and two theaters.
