Another Port Canaveral/Cocoa Beach shuttle question

i found this on the Cocoa Beach site - has anyone ever taken this trolly from the

ship into town.

 

In 2001, Space Coast Area Transit introduced trolley service to Cocoa Beach. The trolleys are actually buses designed to look like trolleys. The service runs from Port Canaveral to 13th Street in Cocoa Beach. A ride on the trolley costs just $1.25 with a reduced rate of 60¢ for seniors, veterans, disabled and students. There is no charge for children under five or for transfers to fixed route bus service. Bikes and surfboards are welcome. According to Rob Varley, Director of the Space Coast Office of Tourism, that rate structure ties in nicely with Cocoa Beach positioning itself as an affordable family vacation destination. "The new trolley service is like having an additional inexpensive tourist attraction that helps solve some key transportation issues at the same time. It's a very exciting opportunity for both the tourists and residents of Cocoa Beach," stated Varley.

 

If so was it easy to find coming and going?

You may be thinking of the public bus line that runs down the main highway in Cocoa Beach. I believe it originates near the cruise port and runs all the way into Cocoa Beach. Being a public bus line it only costs a buck or two. When we cruised out of Port Canaveral in December of 2008, we took the bus in from the Marriott Residence right near the port to a bar (thinking Beef O'Brady's) about halfway to the beach for dinner the night before we departed to catch the Ravens crush the Cowboys in the final game at the old Cowboys Stadium. Good, cheap, effective transportation.
