Light rail services increased Saturday with the opening of the South Central Extension/Downtown Hub, which Phoenix officials said will connect thousands of people to jobs and health care.
The 5.5-mile extension aligns with the launch of Valley Metro’s new two-line light rail system, according to a city release.
On weekdays, light rail trains will arrive every 12 minutes until 7 p.m., “reducing wait times and ensuring timely transfers between the A and B lines,” the release stated.
In Tempe, streetcar service frequency will improve to every 15 minutes until 7 p.m.
