Trolley ridership is on its way to double the projections. METRO has been a huge success. Now we need a line on Scottsdale Road all the way from Route 101 down to past Highway 60 and east to downtown Chandler.

i wish it looked more like a trolley...

@phxariz85020 It is a trolley -- an electric train that runs on Washington Street, just like they did in one hundred years ago, before we had our abusive love-affair with the automobile.

the light rail here is such a joke...

light rail is going to fail miserably. it would be better to carpool.

we get a bullet looking train, those loud bells and overhead power lines... at least they could do something that has some charm or looks pleasing to the eye...

That's what I was thinking too.
