"The destination signs

says 'Not In Service'

just for the record"

Right. Regular passenger service doesn't commence until 27 December, 2008.

I like it because it's like stepping on a bus since it's low to the ground. That's great for old people. Older systems like those in Los Angeles use high platform rail cars for their light rail and subway systems which makes it somewhat difficult for old people since they have to walk up (or down) ramps or stairs to get to the platform.

The destination signs says "Not In Service" just for the record, it was a little blurry on my end. Love how they are trying to match their buses so bus riders aren't as confused when it starts. Valley Metro is doing a good job so far, how about now push more bus routes in Chandler??
