ALEX schedule

ALEX is the Ahwatukee neighborhood circulator.

The City of Phoenix Public Transit Department has published tips for Catching ALEX, using the bike rack and Exiting ALEX. They also have some general comfort and safety tips.

Remember to signal the operator in a safe manner and in the direction that ALEX is traveling. On major roads (Ray Rd, Chandler Boulevard, the Elliot/Warner Loop) you must board and exit at a marked bus stop. Arrive 5 minutes before scheduled departure times. There is no eating on ALEX vehicles and drinks must be in approved containers (hard plastic containers, mugs with lids etc.) Shirts and shoes must be worn, and only service animals trained to assist persons with disabilites are allowed unless kept in a secure carrier.
