Phoenix Transportation is recognised as a reliable and efficient service. However public transport isn’t as popular in Phoenix when compared to other cities. This is due to efficient roads and the extreme heat during the summer months. Many routes are limited and end early in the evening. It is recommended that you plan out your trip before traveling.
