Getting to downtown West Palm Beach without a car

You can reach downtown West Palm Beach, Florida by train, bus, bike or boat, and get around it on the City’s own transit service. This page sets out each option with the fares, hours and addresses its operator publishes, checked on October 20, 2026. It also explains why so many pages still describe a downtown trolley that no longer runs.

West Palm Move, the City’s service

Why older pages still mention a trolley

Search for a West Palm Beach trolley and most results are news stories from 2021 to 2023, from the years when trolleys ran downtown at no charge. The City’s FAQ now says West Palm Move is a new City service, separate from previous trolley operations, and its fixed route costs $1. One City page has not caught up: the Directions and Parking page still says a trolley runs round-trip at no charge from Clematis Street to the shopping district now called CityPlace. The West Palm Move pages are the current word, and RideWPB, the pilot in between, ended May 31, 2026.
