Our Story
The Trolley Company was started
in 2009 by Eva Ritchey. Eva was
joined by two civic minded women,
Shirley Palmer-Hill and
Verna Shipman. They envisioned
a unique trolley system in downtown
Hendersonville, North Carolina.
After the pilot project ended at the
end of the summer and it was
evident that public funding was not
available, Eva decided to go into
business with the owner of the other trolley in the pilot project.
In 2013 he decided to pursue
other goals and Eva is now the
sole owner of The Trolley Company.
Eva has been an advocate for mass
transit for more than twenty years. She
loves trolleys. In her words, "Trolleys
are rolling communities. They create a
sense of fun. People don't think of
them as mass transit. They think of
them as fun."
The Trolley Company hopes to offer
many years of excellent service (and
fun!).
