text: The bus system is an absolute joke I am originally from Tucson and I thought Sun Tran was bad Boy how wrong I was I have always been an advocate for public transit and strongly support its use However after using Valley Metro I can see why everyone drives everywhere its not a feasible means of transport nnFirst of all the scheduling is terrible Outside of peak hours it can be as regular as to minute intervals Of course that is assuming the bus even comes Especially on route there might be several scheduled busses that simply do not show I have regularly waited up to minutes for the bus to show only to give up and call a cab or walk In more than one instance walking proved the faster choicennDuring peak hours the buses are often crowed Usually its not to bad as long as the ac is working Pray that the AC does not go out the smell in the busses becomes unbearablennThe drivers are rude and not very helpful First time users beware the drivers expect you to be expert travlers of the bus system asking questions about payment routes times transfers or other bus transport related issues is frowned upon by driversnnIn summation do not depend on the bus it will probably be late if it even shows up Valley Metro is really a slap in the face to public transportation everywhere
