The LightRail (Tram) in Phoenix, Arizona, USA 2020
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- Valley Metro Rail (styled corporately as METRO) is a 28.2-mile (45 km) light rail line serving the cities of Phoenix, Tempe, and Mesa in Arizona, USA. The network, which is part of the Valley Metro public transit system, began operations on December 27, 2008. The line carried 49,416 passengers per day in 2016, making it the 14th busiest light rail system in the country.
In the years since it opened in 2008, the system has undergone two expansions, with at least five more scheduled, including the Tempe Streetcar. Furthermore, extensions are planned into West Phoenix and South Phoenix to Baseline Road, all of which were expanded as a direct result of obtaining funding under the Proposition 104 sales tax increase. ~Wikipedia

Comment below so we can all have a productive 'conversation about transportation!'
Thank you for all the support!!! - Авто та транспорт
Finally, some decent footage of this system.
More to come!
I like american light rail systems.Greetings from italy.
I don't know if I'd call the lightrail system 'sexy', but I loved this mode of transportation. Should be all over the valley!
yeah I typically thought these lrvs looked rather bad actually. the design looked dated the minute they bought them honestly. way too bubbly, if you will
I remember Right and Rong from my visit to Phoenix 🤣
Best metro mascots ever
Everyone remembers that and the Goldberg and Osborne as well as the 9771900 lawyers.
I remember when they had street signs on central Avenue, Camelback road,19 Avenue in 2003 saying future light rail route. Love PHOENIX ARIZONA
I like the contrasting notices as cartoons.
Excellent video my friend and Merry Christina 👍😎
The light rail also makes the surrounding area look better too
Central Avenue looked much nicer before light rail.
@Timosha21, I Hope You Have A Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year😎👍🎄🎁🎆🎇
It’s needs to run east - west on the 60 and north - south on the 101
Personally I wish they’d run it along the freight rails and canals
Nice video! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Are you going to come back and film the brand new Tempe Streetcar? Nice stops and trains.
Please call them trolleys. The rails sit in the ground. Thank you. -- Bill Lindley, Archivist, Phoenix Trolley Museum.
Rails😏😅
*Mostly in the ground
What happened to the Phoenix Trolly Museum?!?
It’s not a trolley if it doesn’t have a troller
@@MatecaCorp the San Diego Trolley is a "trolley" but all pantograph pickups. Boston and many other cities call them trolleys regardless of whether they have trolley-poles, or pantographs, or even third-rail pickups.
All nice good
i've actually rode this before
Me to
I’m a regular commuter and I do have to say the metro is the best way to get around the valley
Looking forward to the south Phoenix connection
@@tincou7694 ditto it’s gonna run through downtown Gilbert eventually
I’m a regular commuter and I have to say it sucks ass and I can’t wait until I have a car again.
@@danieldaniels7571 I mean I do agree it is scetchy as shit sometimes, especially at night. But it is cost efficient and a good way to get from mesa to asu and downtown Phoenix and Sky Harbor
@@HIOAZA1523 cost efficient?!? KTAR reported a few years ago that for what the light rail has cost Maricopa County taxpayers, a new Toyota Prius could have been purchased for every county resident. It’s the exact opposite of cost efficient.
Nice video!!!!!!
Very very nice video
Do some buses in Lafayette, Indiana and Indianapolis, Indiana in the future.
Are the cars ever full, with standing -room only? I would doubt it... Could probably get by with just one car. If I'm wrong, let me know.
Yeah sometimes after events like comic con but otherwise not really only at busy hours does it get pretty full and there are usually two cars.
It does get pretty full. But remember right now there’s a COVID thing.
👍👍👍
That is not a tram. It’s way too big to be one.

This light rail is good.
It is like a train
Rafi ads ruin the view
Hey they are planned new Videos from SLC or SF ?
Today is Tuesday, July 6, 2021. I live in Sandy, Utah, about 10 miles South of Downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. On Wednesday, September 1, 2021, I will be flying into Phoenix, Arizona from Salt Lake City, Utah. I will be attending The Arizona Diamondbacks Baseball Game, that day. On that same day, I will be flying back home to Salt Lake City. How much does this train system cost to ride for the day or for the hour or what ever? Can I buy the tickets beforehand, online or do I need to buy the tickets, on the day that I travel on it, and where do I buy the tickets at? Does this train run from the airport to Chase Stadium? What would be the nearest stops I would need to use, to get from airport to Chase Field, and how far away are the stops from the airport and from Chase Field? What would t the fastest and cheapest way to get from the airport to Chase Field, and after the game what would be the cheapest and fastest way to get from Chase Field to the airport or what would be the nearest stations? Thank you. Thanks. Have a GREAT day and night. Bye.
I am thinking about moving to Arizona USA, I love to kno more about this LightRail (Tram) System my friends ?
The train is fine. The weather is terrible. I hate the heat here!!
Rode it to work every day for six years. Very reliable, but the stations don’t provide enough shading from the brutal desert sun. Hard to transport bicycles-the pegs on which you need to hang them are very high.
@@Ololoaz The newer Siemens trains will have better bike racks.
@ 2:50 is that the railroad bridge that burned in Tempe?
yes
Anybody know when the Tempe Streetcar is supposed to open?
Some time in 2021
@@kendallwalker72 cool thanks
And typically empty, as with most American public transport. Crazy.
I wouldn’t call a ridership of 50,000 (on a single line) per day "empty". It probably was recorded on a calm day, between morning and midday.
The pandemic could’ve also played a role in low ridership. I barely use transit now and I haven't been sick for almost a year.
@@VieleGuteFahrer 50,000 per day with a metro population of almost 5 million people is nothing.
@@bman8tor Like I said, they currently operate one single line, so it's something.
@@VieleGuteFahrer moin wie gehts
@@BESTOFJSB Moin, gut und selbst? 😏
Most times half the car is Mentally challenged folks..and Criminals
The system is Bad because anyone can just come on without paying a fare.... Am/pm rush hours ,and days there are big events it is Better..
I rode it daily for 3 years ....
Agreed. Most of the time it feels like a rolling homeless shelter. I have several videos on my channel of the crazy people on it.
