Is the Mattapan trolley air conditioned?

[Rich Carreiro]

My 5yo is a total train/subway nut and one of his
goals is to ride the Mattapan trolley.

So I was wondering...
* Is the trolley air conditioned (that matters this time of year)?
* How long (time-wise) is it from Ashmont to Mattapan?
* How long is it between trolleys (so how long will we have to
wait at Mattapan before we can get on the return trolley)?

Thanks!

It is air conditioned. The trip is scheduled for 8 minutes. They run
about every 10 minutes or less, in theory -- they've been trying to
collect fares recently, which is slowing things down.

In my experience, it's not worth walking around the neighborhood in
Mattapan, and I'd recommend taking the next trolley back.
