The National Park authorities were concerned that too few people were visiting the Everglades, Biscayne and Homestead Bay parks. They determined that many who would like to visit but did not have transport. It was often too hot, especially for the elderly, to walk to the park entrances. They instituted a Video) system which offers free transport with a free guided tour and free access to the parks. En route the volunteer guides explain the history, the wildlife and the ecosystems of Homestead Trolley-Everglades National Park. There is even free parking at the terminal point in downtown Homestead for those making use of the facility.
