With METRO Light Rail now opened, getting between the Downtown Phoenix and Tempe campuses of ASU changes. This blog has reported the changes to ASU intercampus commuting so check that out.

With METRO now open, some of the fixed-bus service in Phoenix will change on Monday December 29. The major change is that bus trips that begin within the city of Phoenix before 5am and after 10pm on weekdays will be eliminated. Saturday service will mirror Sunday service.

Since free rides on METRO continue through 2am January 1 2009, I'll see you on the trains!

Cheers-
