OWENSBORO, Ky. (WFIE) - A fun, neat form of transportation is making its return to the city of Owensboro.
The old-time trolleys are coming back to the streets of downtown after a hiatus. Owensboro Transit Authority are hoping that it will help people get around downtown a little easier, especially those visiting from out of town.
The big perk is the trolley rides are free, but city leaders say they can still be a financial boom for the community.
