Extra Extra!

Are you tired of playing designated driver every weekend? Are you looking to spend time at various Scottsdale bars? Or maybe you’re just interested in a more efficient way to get around town.

Whatever your motive may be, Scottsdale’s new Hospitality Trolley is sure to get you on your way.

As of Jan. 17, Monday, the City launched this new service, which will run for the next few months as a pilot program.

The Hospitality Trolley begins running at 10:30 am until midnight every day as it stops at Scottsdale hotspots and various event venues including Scottsdale Fashion Square, Scottsdale Center for the Arts, and Scottsdale Quarter. The Trolley embarks across from the Scottsdale Stadium at the northwest corner of Drinkwater Blvd. and Osborn Rd., heading west down Osborn, and then north onto Scottsdale Road where it will end at Westworld.

Future use of the trolley service will be based on feedback from sponsors, which half of the $180,000 funding comes from, along with ridership. The other half of funding comes from the city’s bed tax revenues.
