Tipps für Reisende
Verkehrsmittel
Tucson public scooters
Anywhere near downtown and UA, you will find random motoruzed scooters. Super easy to ride (and they can pack a punch), download the app, and you are off and scooting. Fun way to get around town! When you reach your destination, just park it on the sidewalk for the next user.
