Chicago Limo Bus vs. Chicago Trolley

The great debate: Limo Bus or Trolley?

It's beautiful out in Chicago, summer is in full force and it's time to hit the town and have some fun! When you have a large group event your options really come down to a limo bus or trolley.So let's break down the pros and cons of the two options and the experiences that entail.

The first element is the weather. If it's a beautiful day outside a trolley can be a lot of fun, enjoying the fresh air, hearing all the sounds of the city and getting a good glimpse of the hustle and bustle of the neighborhood you're cruising around in... BUT if the weather takes a turn for the worse you're in for a very uncomfortable ride. On those muggy 95 degree days you'll be sweating like a marathon runner, when it's really cold out you better bring a jacket and if it's raining, there goes your open air experience. On a limo bus, no need to worry about the elements putting a damper on your day the group will be comfortable whether it's cold, hot, rain or snow. 

The next point to consider is what type of atmosphere you would like. A trolley has forward facing seating, so you are pretty limited in who you can talk to and half the time you will be awkwardly turning around in your seat to have a conversation. The hallway is tight and maneuvering around can be a bit of a pain. In a limo bus you have wrap around leather seating, you can talk to anyone around you comfortably and walk around the vehicle freely to mingle with anyone inside. Whereas a trolley is pretty bare bone on the inside a limo bus has the works: fiber optics, lasers, light shows, HD TV's, great sound systems with adapters for all of your music and is more of a party atmosphere. There is room to dance and really use the space around you as you see fit. While people are tripping over coolers in a trolley the limo bus has built in coolers to conveniently store all of your ice and drinks. 

Lastly, you have to choose what type of service you would like. A trolley you'll get a driver and all of the set up is up to you. You need to bring the drinks, the coolers, the ice, music, decorations and any of your other needs. Limo buses your chauffeur will be dressed up for your event, help you on an off the vehicle, have ice ready and waiting for you with whatever beverages you request. When you step off the chauffeur will organize the back and help clean up the back so it's organized when you step back on. 

Hope this helps when you're looking for a great day out in the best city in the world!
