As I Use It....
- The PHoenix Area Rapid Transit(PHART) light-rail has increased the daily-fare passes(expiring at midnight) to $3.50 each, from $2.50, citing increased costs, regardless of the unexpected high-level of ridership. Downtown nightlife establishments are delighted that the hours of operation will soon extend to 2:00am, from the present 12 midnight.
So, you purchase your pass at....let's say.... 8pm, head downtown to party, and you finally leave the Cooperstown bar at 1:30am. Do you have to purchase another pass? Can you even fumble into your wallet or purse and then operate the ticket machine? Isn't that why you chose to PHART in the first place? Even separate one-way passes would cost more than a single all-day pass. Never trust a PHART!
