If you are ever faced with a real life trolley car problem, be advised that it is in fact unlawful to manipulate a real car control apparatus in an unauthorized manner. Therefore, the correct answer to any trolley car problem is to do nothing. Even if there are zero people on the other track and 15 people on the track that you are about to pull the lever for, don't pull that lever. If you do, you will then be guilty of a legal offense.
