do the people using the bus...work 7-3pm everyday??? this bus wouldn't work for me. there should be another bus return at 6 or 7pm. i feel that as long as some people can use it great. i just wish the hours where more practicul for the rest of us. i work in chandler. 8-5pm. i would have to catch the 5am bus to central station and catch i dont' know how many more buses to get to chandler by 8am. then i would have to catch all those buses back to central station hopefully by 8pm?? and then what time would i arrive in the copa...NEVER cause the last bus left at 6:30pm. THEREFORE..the times are useless to most copians. We should of built a light rail system from Maricopa to Central Station..the taken all those buses would be minimized cause the train would take you as far as Mesa! LIGHT RAIL IN COPA...how is that for a thought. I'm not being negative to the bus idea..i guess i just wish the times and locations better fit my life. thanks for atleast bring such a service to us!!

I agree. The schedule is to restrictive for anyone with a real job, who needs more flexibility as to departure times from Phx. A light rail line to hook up to the one in Tempe or by the airport would be better.

I'd much rather have busses that drive within Maricopa, instead of just in/out.

Give me something good to die for,to make it beautiful to live.

The two bus routes to Phoenix would work for working hours of 7AM-4PM and 8AM-5PM. These are most common hours for working downtown. I am sure there are others who start late or leave late. But, this is just a start . I am sure they will work on tweaking time and frequency of bus based on feedback and ridership. Is there any news on the bus route to Tempe?

Let's see, it's 24 miles from Maricopa to Tempe. Gas is $3.40 a gallon. (.88 gallons is $3) So if my vehicle gets 27 mpg it's $3. . . to get to Tempe. The CAFE standard for passenger cars is 27.5. I get about that in my Saturn. Though, I've been bicycling about %50 of the time these days. (Many thanks to all of you for not running me over!)
