Ten-Minute Headways For Phoenix Light Rail

by Peter Smith   

For regular work days, I think 10 minutes is awesome:

Trains will arrive every 10 minutes from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.; all other hours, every 20 minutes.

I actually don’t think it should be any less than that. I think I’d be happy with 15 minute intervals - maybe run more during rush hours and fewer in between.

Of course, the headway on your bike is about zero minutes - you can leave whenever you want, and whatever moment you want, at whatever time of day or night, weekday or weekend, holiday or not.  :)

I still think there’s a huge market for little books that are really good for carrying on the metro - things that fit in your coat or jeans pocket. I know some folks make certain little books, but I just feel like there’s a lot more to be done, there. That could increase the pleasurability of transiting that much more, which is why it’s important. With more people riding the rails, hopefully publishers will step up - including indy publishers.
