I think with the upcoming oil crisis this will be very important for big cities that want to prosper. It is good to see more and more cities investing in improving their public transportation system.

One detail I forgot to mention is that the design of the Sky Train's eastern terminus at 44th St. & Washington leaves room for a possible connection to any commuter rail line that may run along existing tracks there in the future. I don't know of any plans to have Phase 2 of the Sky Train stop at the Greyhound Terminal, but it would be nice to see that happen. It's a shame that the Greyhound Terminal and the Airport are so close together, but there is no free connection between them. Passengers transferring between intercity bus and air travel must walk a long distance, take a cab, or hop on a Valley Metro bus running along Buckeye Road. .-= David Bickford´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PhxRailFood/~3/5fo07bIOi3U/sushi-101.html">Sushi 101</a> =-.

But they're forgetting about intercity travel. The new Sky Train will not connect to Union Station, which is understandable since Union Station hasn't seen regular train service since 1996. But the Greyhound bus station, now also served by several Mexican bus lines, is just a few blocks west of the airport. .-= henry@phoenix hotels´s last blog ..<a href="http://phoenix.org/events/fairgrounds-antique-market-phoenix-march-20-21-2010/">Fairgrounds Antique Market Phoenix March 20-21, 2010</a> =-.
