Welcome back to my carless adventures. This week, with a little help from a friend of mine, I made an excellent discovery in the universe of public transportation. I found myself needing to take a trip to Mill Avenue which is just off of campus. I live just off of campus myself, on the opposite side. I weighed my options on getting to Mill:
As strong of a dislike I have for the lightrail, it seemed like an easy decision given my lazy mindset. As I complained about the lightrail experience ahead of me, a friend of mine politely told me that I was being an idiot and that I needed to take the Orbit bus.
I wasn’t completely unaware of the Orbit bus’ existence. I have seen them driving around Tempe before, I’ve just never taken them anywhere or really knew where they came and went from. I decided to look into these buses and educate myself about them. Here’s some of the info I found out:
It turns out that one of the Orbit bus routes drives right past my apartment building. My trip to Mill suddenly became easy as stepping out the front door. Overall, Orbit seems to be a solid bus system. Very convenient especially for college students and buses don’t tend to be overly dirty like some other systems around…..lightrail.
I’m sure I’ll be planning to take the Orbit more often now. If you’re interested in riding check out the website below for hours of operation, maps, and schedules. If you’ve taken the Orbit before, it may be useful to check the maps out anyway as they apparently changed up some routes recently.
Enjoy
