iRide Trolley service on International Drive, Orlando Florida

iRide Trolly, International Drive Resort Area Orlando Florida 
We used the iRide Trolley service several times during a recent trip to Orlando.  The International Drive Resort Area has really built up over the past few years and this trolley makes it easy to get around.

The classic looking trolley comes by about every 15-20 minutes.  As you can see in the video at times it was packed with riders, other times very few.  The drivers were helpful, especially because so many of the questions came from non-english speaking foreign visitors.   But other riders joined in and seemed happy to help those unfamiliar with the area.

The Orange County Convention Center is at the heart of International Drive, and at the center of the iRide Trolley route.  At both the far north and far south ends of the 42 stop line are two major outlet malls with lots of shops.  Dozens of hotels and resorts are located along International Drive and are served by the iRide Trolley.  Lots of restaurants, shops, and attractions are also on the route.

The biggest would have to be Sea World Orlando and their sister operation Aquatica Water ParkWet 'n Wildis also on Int'l Drive.
