On February 28th we all went and took a ride on the new Metro in Phoenix. It has only been in operation for about two months. We rode the entire length and it's a great ride. We got on around Glendale Rd. and rode it out to the east end which gave us a nice tour of Phoenix especially the downtown area. The ride is really smooth and for the most part the announcements of stations were good. The only downside that I feel is that it is installed in the median area of the roads that it travels on. Basically the engineer driving the trains has to follow the same traffic signals that the auto traffic follows. It's still a nice ride and quicker to get downtown if you happen to live close to a terminal.
Left - looking down the track.
The Bank of America building downtown with the setting setting sun illuminating the side. Maybe they can keep the doors open with the bailout.
Didn't check to see who this building belongs to. Interesting architecture but seems to be missing windows. Maybe there are no corner offices with windows!
