A Mesa transit festival that will include a pancake breakfast will be Nov. 22 for people interested in getting information about light-rail service, which starts just after Christmas.
People can see a light-rail train, get information about a Bus Rapid Transit service, called Valley Metro Link, and another new bus serving Main Street at the event at Sycamore Transit Center at Main and Sycamore.
"It's an opportunity to celebrate with the community," said Mike James, Mesa's deputy transportation director.
The Valley Metro Link is an express bus service with limited stops that will go from Sycamore to Power Road on Main and south to Superstition Springs Center. In addition to that route, another bus, Route 40, will be introduced whenlight rail starts Dec. 27. It will serve the same area as the express bus on Main, but it will have more stops. Also, it will go through Tempe to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, James said.
