Picture Saint Denis’s bustling streets, a clanging streetcar trundling past saloons and shops. In Red Dead Redemption 2, can Arthur Morgan seize the reins and steer this iron beast himself?
Sadly, you can’t drive a streetcar in Red Dead Redemption 2. Arthur can’t change the direction or the speed. In theory, you can enter a streetcar, and kill its driver (this also makes you a target for the local law enforcers) but the main console will remain inactive.
As a consolation, you can use streetcars to travel around Saint Denis. This eliminates the risk of hitting a pedestrian while you are riding your horse. You don’t have to stand in a streetcar – Arthur can sit in one of the chairs. Another thing you need to remember is that, just like with trains, Arthur can jump into a streetcar while riding a horse.
How to board the Saint Denis trolley as Arthur
In Red Dead Redemption 2, Arthur Morgan can board the Saint Denis trolley by approaching it while moving or stationary.
Boarding Steps
Run or ride your horse alongside the trolley on its tracks in Saint Denis; press the contextual button (e.g., triangle on PlayStation, Y on Xbox) shown on screen to grab the side handles or hop on while it’s in motion. Stopped trolleys at stations allow direct entry through open sides or rear platforms without prompts during quieter moments. Avoid bumping into it at full gallop to prevent knock-offs.
Tips for Smooth Access
Travel parallel on foot or horseback matching the trolley’s speed for easier mounting, especially on the Blue or Red loops around the city center. Once aboard, move inside to benches for a stable ride, or stand on platforms to watch scenery; dismount by jumping off when ready. During missions like Urban Pleasures, boarding happens automatically after the robbery, but free roam follows the same mechanics.
Where is the trolley boarding point in Saint Denis
Saint Denis trolleys lack fixed boarding points like modern stations; players board them dynamically anywhere along their routes.
Main Routes
Trolleys operate on two loops: the Blue Loop covers the commercial district, old quarter, and Saint Denis Market in Bayou Nwa, Lemoyne, while the Red Loop serves affluent areas nearby. They travel continuously on tracks through the city center, stopping briefly at natural pauses for passengers to hop on. No specific “boarding point” exists beyond these paths, unlike trains with platforms.
Station Reference
A trolley station near the post office and train station serves as a hub during missions like Urban Pleasures, where Arthur robs it with Dutch and Lenny-approach from the south alley to avoid glitches. Free-roam rides start by matching speed on foot or horse along tracks; pamphlets there provide route info. Watch for lawmen if interacting during escapes.
