Jan. 12, 2006: Galveston Trolley is back in service
In case you haven’t noticed, the Galveston Trolley serving UTMB is back in business. The service was suspended late in 2005 for some modifications and track improvements, including a new bumper installed at the end of the tracks. Some minor additional drainage and site improvement work is planned later this month. Trolley routes and schedules are posted at each stop.

Trolley Schedule

The Galveston Trolley is running. A detailed schedule and route maps are in development.

The UTMB campus is serviced by two trolleys.  

Weekdays the trolley will run every 15-20 minutes to UTMB starting at 7 a.m. and stopping at 6 p.m.  For example, it leaves Shearn Moody at 7 a.m. and arrives at John Sealy Hospital by 7:15 a.m., and then continues on its schedule every 15 minutes.

Weekends, it will run every 30 minutes from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. 

UTMB-area trolley shelters and stops are located at:

  • 1700 Strand (Customs House),

  • 13th and The Strand,

  • 11th and Mechanic and

  • John Sealy Hospital.

UTMB patients, staff, faculty and students ride for free. Have your university identification when you board.
