I guess this only applies to people in Arizona, but isn't there some controversy about tearing up those really old palm tress on central? 63.226.28.130 17:36, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
- Good question. I would like to know also. Kukini 22:25, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
I reorganized this page slightly to conform to the general style of the article on the Chicago CTA and added some material. I am a Phoenix resident and ride this system daily.--Msr69er 16:01, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Valley Metro Rail
Considering the Valley Metro Rail will be a large part of Phoenix metro area transportation in the forthcoming years, I think the section on the Valley Metro Rail should be moved into its own article.

- I will agree as well, it should be moved into it's own article. --DJREJECTED 12:37, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

What's the cost of building the whole thing?
[edit] Photos
This article is now at the point where some photography of the buses would be great! --Msr69er 16:07, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Split sections: Bus fleet, Current bus fleet, Retired bus fleet
I propose the sections on Bus fleet, Current bus fleet, and Retired bus fleet be moved to a separate article called "Valley Metro (Phoenix) bus fleet" and replaced in this article with a brief reference and link. Currently the length of the lists is very difficult for readers of this article.
Before splitting, someone with an eye for accuracy should go over the sections. A great deal of the information in the retired bus fleet section is inaccurate and/or from boilerplate text. As someone who had no choice but to ride Valley Metro's predecessor Phoenix Transit on an almost-daily basis, the suggestion that the agency's 1984-issue MAN artics -- or any other bus in the fleet -- had lavatories in the rear is laughable. Alas, I suppose it'll stay until I can find hard proof that they didn't.67.164.85.102 (talk) 12:40, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
