METRO Holiday Train rolls into service

PHOENIX, AZ — To spread holiday cheer and show continued gratitude to riders, METRO light rail will release a specially-decorated holiday train into service on Friday, Dec. 9.  It will stay in service through Sunday, Dec. 18.

The train will be adorned inside and out with seasonal décor promoting the idea of holiday shopping along light rail.  To discover hidden, locally-owned restaurant and retail gems along METRO, visit m.shiftarizona.com from your smart phone or home computer.  This site was developed in partnership with Local First Arizona to help residents understand how and where to spend local this holiday season and year-round.
