There is one major problem with the light rail...it is not outside my front door, and I demand this change. Given that I have no ability to build my own tracks, I think this means the problem might be me and my Scottsdale ghetto home.  I guess this means I need to move or get a second degree in engineering.\n\nThe trains are fabulously clean. I haven't seen such well cared for trains since Germany and this one really odd dream. Also, the odd character to average character ratio is quite low in comparison to cities like NY, Boston, and SF. It doesn't hurt that the trains look like some kind of futuristic transportation from Total Recall. I'd like to see at least one train go all black with 24\" rims so I could roll into CenPho in style. Still, I am happy to roll in sea foam blue/green into all the best areas in Tempe, Downtown Phoenix, Central Ave, and even Mesa (right, as if there is a \"best area\" in Mesa). \n\nApparently the trains go west beyond Central Ave too and are heading further west at some future date, but I am fearful of heading west to places that end in \"ale\" (mostly because I hear the chance of being attacked by a chain restaurant are quite high). \n\nFairs are great too...$1.75 a ride, at least that's what I pay because that seems to be the best option on the 27 screens it takes to purchase a ticket. Really...shouldn't there be a single button for a single ride? (I know, now somebody is going to point out that said button does exist). That's OK, the 27 screens increase the fun and tension as the train approaches. \n\nFor going out in Tempe and Phoenix this is the way to go, even without the 24\" rims. But, let's not forget to ask...why are half of the stops in places nobody wants to go? why didn't the track extend directly to the airport? why is Scottsdale so opposed to having an effective system of public transport reach their rhinestone city? \n\nAdd 2-3 extensions and this train can really get rolling...of course that probably means higher taxes, so I will wait for the deep freeze down below instead. \n\nUltimately, it's clear that I need this transport device at my beck and call, so, I guess it's time to move. But if I get mugged or hit by a car or an angry hipster (or a silent train) on my morning run in CenPho...they better name that black train after me.
