HAVE A TROLLEY GOOD TIME The buses in Scottsdale don’t look like typical buses. Here, they are labeled trolleys and made to look as such. The trolleys are free to ride, and connect several areas of Scottsdale, as well as several bus routes (www.scottsdaleaz.gov/ trolley). Those with a group can rent a more traditional, unique trolley from Dunn Transportation for a group outing (www.dunn transportation.com).
