The Streetcar connects visitors with four business districts, the University of Arizona, and several Tucson neighborhoods. Running four miles from the Mercado San Agustín on the west side of I-10, across the Downtown Core, along Fourth Avenue, and through Main Gate Square to the University of Arizona, the streetcar is an easy and fun way to see the city center.
