Phoenix’s METRO Light Rail Takes Flight

Granted, the city of Phoenix has a huge sprawl problem. But in December they opened one of the most ambitious transportation projects in the recent history of the U.S.: a 20-mile light rail line with 28 stops serving three cities (Phoenix, Tempe, and Mesa.)
The Valley Metro vehicles are handsome and comfortable and thus far ridership expectations are well beyond initial projections. Each station features pleasant amenities, with art installations and a clean atmosphere. In addition, bicycles are welcome aboard as many folks use the light rail as an inter modal step in their commute.
