The local bus routes in Phoenix most impacted include: Red Line, most of the bus route will be taken over as a light rail route; Blue Line, shortened and renamed; Route 0-Central Ave., reduced bus service frequency on a portion of the route served by light rail; Route 15-15^th Ave., extended north to serve Metrocenter Transit Center and to the south to serve Sky Harbor Airport; and Route 13 - Buckeye and Route 60-Bethany Home, route changes to connect to light rail stations and schedule adjustments. Additional information will be posted as it becomes available.
