Ask CESL What is this new phenomenon known as the streetcar?
The streetcar is a great new way to connect the U of A students with downtown Tucson! There are multiple stops throughout campus as well as 4th Avenue and Broadway and Congress. A different stop will lead to different activities along the streetcar route. Visit http://sunlinkstreetcar.com/index.php for full information on routes and how to pay for rides. UPass cards are the only way to pay for rides. These cards are rechargeable. You buy ride passes at the kiosks and this information stays stored on the cards. You can buy pass cards at the kiosks at the train stops. An all day unlimited ride pass is only $4. A one time ride pass is $1.50 or you can buy a 30-day pass card. The streetcar stop nearest to CESL is on 2nd Street between Slonaker House and Gila Hall. Watch the video on this link for more info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yQncxr5DrY
