After years of having only a bus system, Arizona finally took a step to better public transportation in 2008, when the Metro Light Rail was completed.
Though the light rail has a strict, one-road route, which tends to limit its effectiveness, it also runs on a more strict schedule. It is almost never late and arrives more frequently than the usual buses.
The platform stops for the light rail give the average bus stop a run for its money. Each station features a different piece of artwork from a different artist.
I often carry a camera wherever I go, and I spend a good chunk of time on it everyday. These are a few pictures that I have taken over the past year or so while on or around the light rail.
