| - For the 5th (?) largest state in the country, Valley Metro seems to be very hit and miss.
Most of the drivers I have dealt with have been very friendly and helpful. I can't imagine having to deal with Phoenix's traffic and customers every day.
And VM has FINALLY extended bus hours to run earlier and later. Again, 5th largest state..
Sadly, many of the bus stops are nightmares, with transients sleeping, living, congregating, drinking alcohol, selling drugs and harassing VM's customers. The stops have become a blight on the streets of Phoenix and a haven for drug users and thieves.
I use the bus multiple times every week and have to deal with being harassed for money and/ or cigarettes, every day. I have had to chase away transients that were harassing women at the stops.
With all the money we spend on furniture for our legislators, light rail (which will never make any money) and building sports arenas, it would be nice to feel safe waiting for the bus and not worry about needles on the ground.
