Any time we go downtown we take the light rail, like last night we went to the Suns game. We parked for free at the park n ride at Central and C-back and the rail drops you off in front of the stadium. Right now you can ride for free if you have a ticket to any event at the US Airways Center, which works well because the ticket machines are either broken or you get those stupid susan b anthony coins for change. The light rail is great for many reasons; it saves gas, less frustration/expense of parking, and most importantly terrific people watching. On game days its fun because the train is packed with Suns fans and other days there are all kinds of interesting people. If you want to see city living at its best and worst- ride the light rail!
