The METRO Light Rail station which surrounds Downtown Phoenix's Central Station transit hub is not called Central Station but rather Van Buren Street and Central Avenue and Van Buren Street and 1st Avenue (it is also known as the ASU Downtown Campus station). Despite having at least four different names, it is all actually one station, which serves as a stop for various city buses as well as the trolleys.
