The tradition continues! The Lightning Route, a Downtown Montgomery tradition since 1886 reemerges with turn of the century replica trolleys that circulate Historic Downtown Montgomery every 20 minutes.

Route 14 Lightning Route

Since 1886 and still clanging!

Passes are available at Union Station Transportation Center/ Montgomery Area Visitor’s Center, Old Alabama Town,  the Alabama Department of Archives and History and the Hank William’s Museum.

Catch the Lightning Route at Historic Union Station Transportation Center or board it anywhere along its famous trek.

Two Routes, the Green and the Gold, circulate the downtown area at 20 minute intervals between the hours of 9:00am and 6:00pm Monday thru Saturday. The trolleys provide passengers transportation to many of the City’s Landmarks, Historical sites and Government centers.
