Last week, Trinity Metro celebrated the launch of its Blue Line — which officially rolled out yesterday, replacing Molly the Trolley.
The Blue Line is the second of Trinity Metro’s color-coded buses (after the Orange Line). Passengers now have a sleek new way to ride to major destinations around downtown, like the convention center and Sundance Square.
The route — which runs daily between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. every seven minutes — includes stops near popular shops, bars, restaurants, hotels + more. The buses also feature artful imagery of iconic city sights.
