To Catch one of the ROTA Trolleys:

ROTA Trolleys only stop at locations marked with a green and yellow circular sign. Times shown on the schedule are approximate due to varying traffic, weather, and other conditions. Riders need to be at a bus stop at least five (5) minutes before the bus is due. When at a marked Trolley stop, wave at the Trolley as it approaches so the driver knows that you want to ride. The driver may not stop for you if it doesn’t look like you want to ride. Back away from the curb as the Trolley approaches to avoid the mirror on the side of the Trolley.
