Mendoza's trolleybus system is one of the oldest in South America, having started in the 1950s. These electric buses run on overhead wires, providing a quiet and emission-free mode of transport. Visitors can ride them to experience a piece of the city's history while traveling along major routes like Avenida San Martín. The trolleybuses are still used daily by locals, and their vintage appearance makes them a popular photo subject. The system is a charming blend of past and present, offering a unique way to see the city.
