Posted by FYBklyn1959 on Sat May 8 21:57:15 2021, in response to Re: Program For Mass Transit 1968., posted by Steve B-8AVEXP on Sat May 8 15:52:34 2021. Also, Valley Metro in Phoenix has (or had) a route '0' on Central Av, also the east/west divider. I may have ridden it during my October 1994 visit. Looking at the map (see link below) it appears now to be the "0A".Downtown Phoenix is a bit strange. The north-south streets east of Central are "streets" (1st St, 2nd St, etc.) West of Central they are "avenues". For the most part, the Valley Metro bus route numbering system uses the block number of the primary street that the route runs on, even outside of the downtown area where most of the streets are named. As it turns out, there is a route on 7th St and another on 7th Av. One was the 7, the other was the 8 (7 is on 7th St, the 8 on 7th Ave). When I was there, they had 4 routes that had colors (Red, Blue, Green and Yellow (I think)). The Red line headed east, passing by PHX and on to Tempe (I rode it out to ASU). They were given these names because they were more or less previews of an eventual light-rail system. And the current light-rail line does follow much of the route of that Red Line (ironically, AFAIK, the light rail line is not called the Red Line, at least I don't see it indicated as such on the Valley metro system map). |
