Today one of my dreams came true. Being a Phoenix native I eagerly awaited the opening of the Metro for many, many years. It is finally here and I rode it to work today. Halleluiah to reducing my carbon footprint. I took a bus from Central and Dobbins to the Main Station at 1st and Van Buren where I caught the Metro, then I got dropped off on 3rd and Mill and walked to work. Total trip time was 1 hour 10 minutes. Granted it only takes me about half that time to drive, but taking the Metro just makes you feel good. That and you can people watch, read a book whatever. I was really impressed about how clean the Metro was, and it wasn't crowded at all, probably only 60% full.
Phoenix is growing up. Hopefull people will use the Metroenough where it can afford to stay open for later hours..
