Light Rail
METRO Light Rail
When a $1.4 billion light-rail system debuted in downtown Phoenix on Dec. 27, 2008, it ushered in a transportation revolution not seen in the Sonoran Desert since the thirsty horse gave way to the combustion engine. The 20-mile line links Phoenix to the neighboring communities of Tempe and Mesa, and includes stops at attractions such as Phoenix Art Museum, the Heard Museum, Chase Field and US Airways Center.
Light rail’s quiet, air-conditioned trains operate 20 hours per day, seven days a week, and stop at 28 stations. The system operates at street level and is powered by electricity from overhead wires. Fares are $1.75 per ride or $3.50 for an all-day pass. The system has 28 stations, and trains stop at those stations every 10 minutes. The station platforms themselves are adorned with $6.2 million worth of public art, with each installment designed to reflect the character of the community where it is located.
