This thread totally has me fanasizing about riding a subway or monorail to work every day. I can't stand the traffic and construction any more. What used to take me 20-25 minutes now takes me 40 consistently. The traffic just seems to get worse every day. I tend to get road rageous a little bit too when the traffic gets bad and the average driver IQ drops considerably.
There's a bus that runs between SMCC (and stops right in from of my neighborhood) and ASU. I've been thinking more and more about taking it. It says it takes 35 minutes to get from ASU to SMCC, and man, I can't even make that in my car so I know that isn't right.

I went ot Central high school on Central and Camelback, and trying to take a bus afterwards was very difficult.
I went to Brophy and had to take the city bus up Central. I know what you mean about it being jam-packed in the mornings. And I could walk from Central to 15th ave on Thomas on the way home before the bus would come.
One time I got mugged walking to the bus stop on Central across from Brophy--at 4:30 PM. I was surrounded by three guys, punched in the head, had my wallet taken, all with traffic zipping by and no one stopped. I had to ride the bus home with a big goose egg over my eye. My least favorite bus story. I'd like to meet those guys again now that I'm 6'4", 190 lbs.

I am tellin ya! up, not out
I agree with you, Mothrock. One thing Richard Florida says is imparing Phoenix's development into a truly modern and happening urban center is its lack of density. Downtown doesn't have the critical density to support the kind of culture and environment that you find in a NYC, Chicago, Minneapolis, and Seattle. It will get better with all the new housing going in, but we also need public transportation to facilitate people being able to get around without having to worry about parking--like they do in Boston or Seattle.
What other solutions to the traffic problem do you have?
More telecommuting and staggered work hours would help. There don't seem to be any easy solutions and there isn't a silver bullet that will cure it once and for all. It will take the combination of things like enhanced public transit and changes in work culture to alleviate the problem.
