Tips from locals
Take this train from North West Phoenix to Mesa and make a few stops by the great restaurants, bars, historic downtown places
Phoenix’s light rail system, which debuted in December 2008, is the newest in the U.S. As such, riding light rail in Phoenix has both its perks and drawbacks. Pro: The trains are sleek and modern and clean. Con: The network so far extends only 20 miles. Light rail is good for getting around downtown Phoenix and accessing the museums and restaurants along Central Avenue. It also stops at Tempe’s Mill Avenue District and Sky Harbor airport. Trains run until 11PM Sunday through Thursday and until 2AM on Fridays and Saturdays. A one-way fare is $1.75, but the smarter deal is a $3.50 all-day pass (which also covers bus transfers).
