BIDDEFORD — BSOOB Transit will provide a Memorial Day weekend trolley schedule, and will begin full seven-day trolley services on Friday, June 17.
“We’re expecting a busy and active summer tourism season. Our trolley services allow visitors and residents to travel safely and avoid traffic and parking issues” said Craig Pendleton, director of transportation.
This summer will include three trolley lines, Saco, Old Orchard Beach, and Pine Point. “Unfortunately, the Camp Ellis Trolley will be suspended in 2022 due to the ongoing labor shortage,” said BSOOB Director Chad Heid. “Recruiting operators to maintain our existing services along with the expanded summer service is proving difficult.”

The trolley lines will operate over Memorial Day weekend from 6 p.m. on Friday, May 27 through 4 p.m. on Monday, May 30. Heid said the regular summer schedule will operate between Friday, June 17 and Monday, Sept. 5.
