But the price is right, especially for seniors. I'm embarrassed to admit that it took us some time before we figured out how to insert our credit card in the kiosks in order to get a ticket. One of the transit cops helped us out. Instead of inserting the card chip first, you need to reverse it. Once we had that figured out, it was all downhill from there. The transit cops are on some routes but it's hit and miss. We have ridden for free on occasion. But that was before we understood how to actually purchase a ticket.

Nov, 2025. Phoenix Valley Metro Light Rail. My husband and I were visiting Phoenix, and wanted to…read morecheck out the Roosevelt Row area. We had heard that parking might be difficult or expensive near downtown, so we decided to take the light rail into the city. Armed with information from the Valley Metro website, we drove over to a free Park 'N Ride lot at the intersection of Baseline and Central Avenues, purchased one-way fare for our trip to Roosevelt Row ($2 for 1-ride, full fare; $1 for 1-ride, Senior (65+) fare, and boarded the light rail. The train is clean, runs regularly, and has both signage and verbal announcements as to the upcoming station. We did the same for our return trip. This was an stress-free, cost-effective way to travel to downtown. Two additional quick notes: 1) Valley Metro offers many payment options, including an App, a "Copper Card", passes, and individual tickets. If we were staying in Phoenix longer, we'd probably use one of other payment options. 2) we encountered a finicky payment machine at the Van Buren and Central Avenues stop when we tried to buy our return tickets. (It wouldn't take either of two credit cards that we tried). We were able to buy the tickets at another machine at the end of the platform.

Honestly, I had no ultimate destination and strictly wanted to sightsee. Having no idea what to expect, I chose the day pass at $4 and got on at this stop. Yes, they will check your ticket. Mine was scanned three times while I went to and from Phoenix. One girl gave an expired pass to the ticket gentleman (sorry I don't know his correct title) and all he said was "your ticket isn't valid, make sure you get a valid ticket". Well, that was nice. In the train in the trip into Phoenix, the windows were covered with some sort of dotted barrier, so we couldn't really see out. In the cart back into Tempe, we could see out with no problem, even when it started getting dark. I guess we lucked out. We met this super cool dude that showed us his video collection of train characters that he's encountered, including the window licker. Footage of a guy literally making out with his reflection. You can't make this stuff up. When we got to the end of the route the announcement indicated that it was time to exit, but we were in for the long haul and stayed on. So, don't pay attention to that announcement if you're site seeing too.

Is there a degree of shade on the train (i.e. tweakers who are delusional, paranoid, angry and need to come down from their meth)? Absolutely - just don't make any sudden movements and avoid eye contact. Do I wish it could go faster? Hellz yeah. But, I'm still appreciative and grateful for our lovely light rail. #warmfeels :) I don't use our light rail for work commute (wish it worked!), but I do use it for fun-time and...well... I just enjoy riding a train, to be quite frank... It's so - metropolitan and chic. I love the ease of purchasing various tickets on the e-machines also. It doesn't get more streamline and efficient here, folks...I encourage everyone to ride the Choo-Choo because it's just cool. And it helps with our ugly, brown smog floating over our downtown area frequently.

After we hiked, I checked out the visitor center and wowsers the place was loaded with info and items for purchase. A very nice volunteer chatted me up, tried to get me to volunteer (I had to say no but was tempted), talked to me about a Rattlesnake Garage talk starting at noon and other activities they have here. It's a really nice visitor center with books, Native American arts and snacks for sale here. Hours are limited so check the times when they are open. I stayed a bit for the Rattlesnake Garage and it was neat to see all the different kinds of snakes we have here! I'll definitely be back here again for a hike and visit when I am up this way!
