Still is amazing after the 2 years I haven't lived in Phoenix, the bus situation still hasn't improved. Most buses in the West valley still don't go past a certain hour, and it's still a hassle using the bus to the airport.
Getting a bus and light rail pass is still more simple on a light rail platform. I did love the new line of red paint "ticketed riders only". Yeah, because that'll stop 'em. It's okay but still in need of improvement that isn't seen. Phoenix metro is growing rapidly, time for VM to move with it.
