TPD Welcomes T-Town Trolleys
Blake Promotions LLC began operating trolleys that loop to nightspots in downtown Tulsa, Brookside, and the 18th & Boston areas. The "T-Town Trolley" will run Thursday through Saturday nights. The trolley rides are free to nightspot patrons.
Tulsa Police Officer Jason Willingham said that the department "welcomes the trolleys," especially as a way to help reduce drinking and driving, and avoid tragedy. "Anything that can reduce the number of drunk drivers on the streets is a good idea," Willingham said.
However, Officer Willingham offered a good reminder. "People still need to drink responsibly. If they drink too much and act in a way they don't normally act, they could end up in a bad situation and face charges for public intoxication."
It seems like a great idea to hop on a trolley and bar hop around Tulsa, but trolley/bar hoppers are reminded to call a taxi at the end of the night if they aren't sober enough to drive.
The free trolleys can help keep people safe while having a good time and will hopefully encourage more people to visit the downtown, Brookside, and 18th & Boston areas.
Santa BAIT!
