I-10 West operates Monday through Friday with two morning pickup/afternoon drop-off locations - the Desert Sky Mall Transit Center and the 79th Ave/I-10 Park-and-Ride. Passengers can drive, bike, walk to or be dropped off at these locations.

There are multiple RAPID stops from downtown Phoenix to the State Capitol for morning drop off and afternoon pick up. Most stops are located at the distinctive RAPID stations. A few stops are sign only; look for the RAPID logo. A more detailed map of stop locations will be included on this page in late December.

To confirm you are taking the right bus, check the bus destination sign - it is the lighted sign in front of the bus above its windshield.

RAPID fare is $1.75 per trip and can be paid by cash or bus pass. Passengers connecting to RAPID from a local bus pay an extra 50 cents or must use a RAPID/Express day pass.
