The METRO light rail has been running in the Valley for a few weeks now so drivers can get used to seeing the trains. While no passengers are on the METRO, the trains will be running the full length of the rail which is set to open on December 27th. Today a light rail car had its first accident with a vehicle as the train had a minor accident with a car near 24th and Washington.

It is being reported in today’s papers that fares for the new METRO light rail could be increased before it even opens. Daily passes could be raised from $2.50/day to $4.50. This would not have been an issue if they had not released fares before hand, but they did. This move could end up turning off riders from Mesa and Tempe who may have already been a little reluctant, but keeping an open mind.
