Why it is here
Public transit planning for the Phoenix area
Valley Metro is the official transit app for people using buses and light rail across the Phoenix metropolitan area. It combines trip planning, service information, vehicle tracking and mobile fare tools in one place. The app suits regular commuters, occasional riders and visitors who need clearer guidance before and during a journey.
Plan trips and follow vehicles
Enter a destination to build a step-by-step transit journey, including directions to the starting stop and transfers along the way. Live bus and light rail locations help you compare current vehicle positions with scheduled service, which can make it easier to decide when to leave for a stop.
Use mobile fares with Smart Fare
Valley Metro supports mobile fare payments through QR codes scanned at compatible purple fare readers. Its Smart Fare system is designed to apply daily, weekly or monthly fare limits automatically, so repeated rides can count toward the relevant cap instead of requiring a pass to be selected in advance. Funds can be added digitally or loaded with cash at participating retail locations.
