West Hollywood CA: Free Weekend Night Trolley Rides


The WeHo PickUp Line is nothing like the old cartoon Toonerville Trolley. Actually the vehicle is a modern bus that’s painted brilliant yellow, and somewhat resembles a classic old-time trolley car. For those who enjoy the popular West Hollywood weekend nightlife, the city offers this free service.

It's a Friday and Saturday night route that runs along Santa Monica Boulevard every 15 minutes from 8 pm to 3 am between Robertson Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue. The PickUp Line is an on and off convenience for those who’d rather not drive on the busy and crowded Santa Monica route. The West Hollywood street is part of the famed 2,500-mile Route 66 that ends 10 miles west at the Pacific Ocean beaches.

The PickUp Line also offers car drivers opportunities to park in nearby areas that are less expensive or free. The service is more than just a ride. There’s a photo booth aboard called the PickUp Shot for riders with Instagram service. Additionally, a live disc jockey spins music for riders to enjoy along the way.

Scientists say an interstellar object they named A/2017 U1, recently passed close enough to our planet to be seen on telescopes. It’s the first time ever such a large object from outside our solar system has been so clearly visible. What would our scientists see if they could get a closer look at the strange vehicle?

We’d guess the aliens aboard would seem somewhat familiar. They’d be grey-haired, lounging on deck sunning themselves. Some would be playing shuffleboard, munching sandwiches and sipping drinks. The close-up scope could also see through the portholes, revealing others inside playing blackjack and video poker machines. The Earth scientists managed to interpret a sign in an alien language: ALL-INCLUSIVE SENIOR INTERSTELLAR CRUISE
