Valley Metro Rail - Downtown Phoenix

This is the only way to travel to the race or if you're going to a game in downtown Phoenix. Yes,…read moreit was packed but we didn't have to worry about parking or driving. About a five-minute wait each way. Cost $6 total and can be purchased on the app. For an all-day pass, it was $4 for me and $2 for my hubby.

I've been using the Valley Metro Rail since its grand opening back in 2008. I hate dealing with…read moreparking downtown for events and jump on the light rail just to avoid parking fees (and high gas prices). Plus some of the arenas will offer free rides for certain events. It's fun when you get on a train with lots of local fans that are excited for a big game. But as with most transportation systems, you get some characters that like to jump on for a free ride. I've definitely have had some interesting people watching moments over the years. Valley Metro Rail has 38 stops/'stations between Gilbert and Phoenix. I usually park at the Apache and 101 location because there is a large park-and-ride parking lot there. The light rail does have a stop at the airport that connects with Sky Harbor's Sky Train. But it sucks that you can't leave your car at a park-and-ride overnight. Because the light rail runs along the street and not above ground, many cars have run into trains over the years. As of 2023, Valley Metro charges $2 for one ride and $4 for an all-day pass. Security does occasional check for tickets. Valley Metro Rail has several extensions being planned and currently under construction to reach other parts of the Valley.

I have done this Valley Metro/Sky Train combo a couple of times now. If you ride the Valley Metro…read moreto the stop at 44th street and Washington, you can exit and take the escalators to the Sky Harbor Sky Train which will take you to the terminals. I only live a couple of miles from a Valley Metro light rail stop, so I can lift or uber over for cheap if I need to use this system last minute. Usually when I am doing a 2-4 day trip, I park over at one of the airport shuttle locations outside of Sky Harbor airport and ride in. If I am going on a long trip overseas, I will ask someone to drop me off and pick me up. This light rail option is my last resort option if no one is available or if I just don't feel like paying to park at the airport. The nice thing about the Valley Metro/Sky Train is that it is cheap. It is only $2 to ride the light rail. Yes, you are dealing with the interesting characters that ride the light rail if you go this route. But it is a small price to pay to make a budget friendly trip. The bad thing about using this is that you cannot leave your car overnight at a Valley Metro park-n-ride. So leaving your car there and going away for a few days is not an option. Unless you want to come back and find out that your car was towed. The other thing is that it can take awhile to get to the airport on the light rail. So you have to plan ahead to make sure you arrive at your gate on time. Both the Valley Metro and Sky Train run 24/7. The Valley Metro runs less trains overnight.

The SkyTrain is my jam! I didn't use it for many trips to AZ and I'm not sure why. Did it not exist…read moreyet? Was I just clueless? For those of you that don't know, it's completely free unlike the NYC SkyTrain. And once you get to 44th Street Station and off airport property, you can get an Uber or a Lyft for like half the price. I always call it from the Crowne Plaza across the street so I have an A/C spot to sit if I need it to wait for my ride.
