Arizona rail: A longer trip to a much shorter commute

Trying to make the drive from Tucson to Phoenix is rough. Going in a passenger vehicle on the freeway with thousands of other cars takes forever and makes the trip much less enjoyable. With the price of gas, and the massive number of vehicles spewing emissions into the air, the drive takes a toll both environmentally and financially. By the time I get to Phoenix, I feel like the journey has made the actual destination less fun.

Editorial: Tucson trip

Those who have been to the Northeast, anywhere in Europe or Japan can vouch for the convenience and ease that passenger rails give to travelers. The Metro Light Rail, which travels from Mesa through Tempe and downtown Phoenix, is the only rail example in Arizona. But a real possibility exists that we will get more trains for rail travel and it’s exciting.
