Route 186 map from 1993

Route 186 was created on March 1, 1993 and originally traveled from Union Hills Dr & 59th Ave, along Union Hills Dr, then down 40th St, Thunderbird Rd, then Tatum Blvd to Paradise Valley Mall Transit Center. Apparently, some time between then and August 18, 1997, the western end was truncated to Union Hills Dr & 51st Ave. By March 19, 2000, the western end of the route had been extended to Arrowhead Towne Center and the eastern end of the route was rerouted from Paradise Valley Mall to Phoenix Mayo Hospital (now Mayo Clinic) at Mayo Blvd & 56th St. On January 14, 2002, the western end of the route was rerouted along 79th Ave instead of 75th Ave to access Arrowhead Towne Center. On February 24, 2003, the deviation into Paradise Valley Community College was eliminated. On July 25, 2011, the eastern end of the route was adjusted to turn around in the Mayo Clinic parking lot instead of using Mayo Way. On July 22, 2013, the eastern end was extended to Mayo Blvd & Scottsdale Rd.
