I guess this only applies to people in Arizona, but isn't there some controversy about tearing up those really old palm tress on central? 63.226.28.130 17:36, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Good question. I would like to know also. Kukini 22:25, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

I reorganized this page slightly to conform to the general style of the article on the Chicago CTA and added some material. I am a Phoenix resident and ride this system daily.--Msr69er 16:01, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Valley Metro Rail
Considering the Valley Metro Rail will be a large part of Phoenix metro area transportation in the forthcoming years, I think the section on the Valley Metro Rail should be moved into its own article.

 * I will agree as well, it should be moved into it's own article. --DJREJECTED 12:37, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Support. Solarapex 16:36, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

What's the cost of building the whole thing?

Photos
This article is now at the point where some photography of the buses would be great! --Msr69er 16:07, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Split sections: Bus fleet, Current bus fleet, Retired bus fleet
I propose the sections on Bus fleet, Current bus fleet, and Retired bus fleet be moved to a separate article called "Valley Metro (Phoenix) bus fleet" and replaced in this article with a brief reference and link. Currently the length of the lists is very difficult for readers of this article.

Before splitting, someone with an eye for accuracy should go over the sections. A great deal of the information in the retired bus fleet section is inaccurate and/or from boilerplate text. As someone who had no choice but to ride Valley Metro's predecessor Phoenix Transit on an almost-daily basis, the suggestion that the agency's 1984-issue MAN artics -- or any other bus in the fleet -- had lavatories in the rear is laughable. Alas, I suppose it'll stay until I can find hard proof that they didn't.67.164.85.102 (talk) 12:40, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

For a short period of time in the late 90's, there was a highway coach that ran on the 512 Express. I believe that bus did have a restroom. It was never painted in Valley Metro livery. Recnet (talk) 02:33, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

December 2009 Changes
The split garage arrangement involving Veolia Phoenix will no longer exist. Effective with the December 2009 changes, all routes will be operated from either the south or the north facility exclusively.

Routes that will be exclusively in the north include: 39, 50, 60, 80, 90, 106, 138, 154, 170, 186, 581, 582, 590

All other Veolia Phoenix routes will operate out of the south.

Daily Ridership
The daily ridership numbers cannot be right. The valley only has 2-3 million people but the details box said daily ridership is 58.8 million, and the light rail will be 9 million. NYC only has a 11 million ridership. These need to be corrected. 70.171.222.205 (talk) 07:49, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Strike
As I live here, someone needs to include the strike that is going on since last night. The verdict will be tomorrow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.198.45.13 (talk) 00:30, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Requested move 16 March 2016

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: move, as there appears to be no votes against such a procedure at this time. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 17:36, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Valley Metro (Arizona) → Valley Metro – As it stands now, there are three articles that use this name. One is a mall, and the other is a small transit agency in Virginia. This is by far the more popular name for any of the terms, and the current page could easily be moved to a disambiguation page. I Kevin Rutherford (talk) 06:20, 16 March 2016 (UTC) *Oppose as proposed. I'm confused. You want to move the article on the agency as a whole to the article on the rail line specifically? What about the agency's buses, which have their own article at Valley Metro Bus? Or is it a malformed request, where your intention is to move Valley Metro (Arizona) to Valley Metro and move the current disambiguation page at that location to Valley Metro (disambiguation), leaving the rail article alone? The latter I could support, but that's not what is currently proposed above. oknazevad (talk) 16:15, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Pinging, , , and , as you all might be interested in this discussion. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 06:26, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for catching that oversight, as I have corrected it now. Either way, the bus and train article would remain the same, so I am not planning on touching those pages. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 17:35, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Well then, with that clarification, I support, as this does seem a pretty clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. oknazevad (talk) 18:30, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.  ANDROS1337  TALK 03:47, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Seems highly unlikely moving this will cause any real conflict with the other pages. InfiniteFifty (talk) 19:27, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
