Metro Light Rail (Phoenix)
Metro Light Rail (styled corporately as METRO) is a light rail line operating in the U.S. state of Arizona. Part of the Valley Metro public transit system, it serves the cities of Phoenix, Tempe, and Mesa. Construction began in March 2005; operation started December 27, 2008. The line had a weekday ridership of 43,827 in 2014, making it the 13th busiest light rail system in the country.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ridership Reports )〕
==Overview==
The expected construction cost for the initial 20 miles is $1.4 billion, or $70 million per mile.〔("FAQs and Fast Facts" (pdf) ). - ''ValleyMetro.org''.〕 Metro estimates the train will cost the city $184 million to operate over the next five years with fares covering $44 million of the operation costs and tax subsidies covering the remaining costs.〔http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2008/12/09/20081209lrail-money1209.html〕
Trains operate on city streets in a "center reservation", similar to the Red Line of the METRO light rail system in Houston, the surface sections of the Green Line in Boston, and some surface sections of the Muni Metro in San Francisco. Some parts of the line, such as the bridge over Tempe Town Lake (near State Route 202), have no contact with other traffic. The vehicles used are rated for a maximum speed of 55 mph, and have to complete the 20 mile route in 65 minutes, including station stops. An equivalent section of the Red Line bus route that the rail line replaced was scheduled for 80 minutes, and was subject to traffic delays during rush hour.〔(R-route ). - ValleyMetro.org Glendale at 19th Ave. is near the Christown Spectrum Mall, the rail's starting point and Main at Dobson is very close to Sycamore. Bus schedule allots 1 hour 20 minutes travel at rush hour〕 The system is powered by an overhead catenary that supplies power at 750 V.
