HUUUGGGEEE shoutout to valley metro and their lovely transit center on 5th street and Veterans Way in Downtown Tempe. I work afternoons into the night and i dont drive yet, so public transit is VERY handy to get home for a college student like me. I always feel safe when im at the transit center after work, as there's lots of witnesses and security around if something were to happen to me. I just wish there were more accordion buses in tempe for north and south routes, as those are the coolest buses out there imo, but thats okay!
TIP: if you don't really know where you're going on your route or are in need of directions, the bus drivers will gladly assist you in making sure you get where you need to go.
Public transportation is the greatest gift of Tempe, and I wish I could give all the bus and light rail drivers a hug and a quesadilla as a token of appreciation for making sure i get home safe after work late at night. 10/10 best customer service ever. (shoutout to route 62 bus!)
