Who rides it?
What do you think?

The fare has just gone up.
Has anyone had any issues with this?

Any one ever been kicked off a bus or the light rail?

the fareboxes are teh suckage.
city planners are not forward thinking

I think that the new fare structure is an attempt to fix the fact that the fareboxes suck

I wish they wouldn't immediately cut transit service when their is a budget crisis... we need more service.

I wish that each city didn't have their own provider for the service, that we were all connected under one contract. ugh a roo.

are you working? Are you polling the shizz on work related topics?

I rarely ride, would like too, but schedule and locations are not favorable to lifestyle, think i would ride more on night and weekends if the weather was nicer at bus stops and stuff.

[MikeyWretch]

Dude the shizz is work related.

Its dang hot to miss a bus or have one miss you.

wouldn't it make sense to have more service, say at nights and on weekends, since that's when a lot of us peeps drink & stuff... since this place is all about the DUI thing... but nooooo lets cut service at night and on weekends.

word. there's a bus stop near my house, but quite frankly i don't want to stand there and sweat for 10 minutes while i'm waiting. i'd consider riding it to work if i had a stop within a reasonable distance to my office, which i do not.

the light rail now runs til 2am on friday and saturday nights.

i confirmed this last weekend.

[MikeyWretch]

The light rail is pretty badass.
But trying to use the bus and Light rail together can be hard as hell.

good thing they put the light rail where they already had the most bus service huh?

So true Tony. Its the way this city is laid out. Everything is so far away! Hell I ride the bus and rail for free but even when I was in Mesa it was still almost two hours for me to get to work. thats with the rail and one bus.

RV rides the ligtrail regularly to get to ASU and back. He combines it with riding his bike to get there. He loves it especially when he doesn't want to get out of bed early in the morning. It's still cheaper for him to pay by the ride than to buy a montly pass which doesn't make sense. He also has had way too much trouble buying tickets from those boxes. The bus system sucks hands down. Phoenix needs to look to San Fran or Portland to make it work.

So is the light rail on an honor system like Portlands? Didn't see anywhere to scan my pass
