The County of Hawai’i Mass Transit Agency has re-launched the Kona Trolley route as Hele-On route 201. The new route operates between Kona Commons and the Sheraton Kona Resort & Spa.

The trolley runs hourly from 7am to 9pm seven days a week.  The route serves the Kona Brewing Company, Kona Coast Shopping Center, Kailua Pier, Coconut Grove Marketplace, Lanihau Center, Kona Inn Shopping Center, Royal Kona Resort, Royal Sea Cliff, Kona by the Sea, Kona Bali Kai, Magic Sands Beach, Kahaluu Beach Park, Keauhou Shopping Center, Kona Country Club, and Sheraton Kona Resort & Spa.

As part of the Hele-On transit system, the route charges a $2.00 general fare with a $1.00 discount fare one-way for seniors, students, and persons with disabilities. In addition, there are 10-ride tickets and monthly passes available for sale.

The implementation of this route is one of the many elements of the Transit and Multi-Modal Transportation Master Plan that the County Council adopted in August 2018.

The route is operated by Roberts Hawai’i as part of the contract to operate the Hele-On transit system.
