Transport in Arizona

With 114,000 square miles of canyons, deserts, and forests, Arizona is the country’s favourite Wild West wilderness. As one might imagine, this is a driving state, but with good train and bus connections, there are other options for getting around. So, here's what you should know about transport when staying in serviced accommodation in Arizona.

Cars and motorcycles – The best and cheapest method to explore the sites along Route 66 or explore the Arizona desert is to drive your own car along empty, open highways, and as an added bonus for drivers, gas costs are low compared to those in neighbouring states. In large urban areas, all major rental companies are available, so browse around before reserving a car; daily costs for renting a compact car (including taxes, fees, and unlimited mileage) range from $85 to $300. Renting a bike is also a fantastic way to discover new neighbourhoods and get a closer look at Arizona. It's also an ideal way to check out The Loop, a 131-mile network of multi-use paths that connects the metro region to green areas, entertainment venues, shopping, and more.

Buses and Light rail – If you don't want to drive yourself, the majority of Arizona's larger cities offer convenient public transportation networks. Long-distance bus services like FlixBus and Greyhound are the more affordable alternatives to driving between Arizona's major cities. However, in smaller cities or rural regions, sustainable public transportation is rarely prioritised, therefore bus lines might be limited, and services can be erratic. Buses in Phoenix's Valley Metro system also have connections to the city's light rail system. Make use of the train system to travel across Mesa, Tempe, and downtown and central Phoenix. Trains make frequent stops at well-known sights, and the 38 stations that make up the network are each cultural showpieces with $8 million worth of public artwork. Currently, all forms of public transit in Tucson are free; check before you arrive to confirm this offer is still in effect.

Airports – There are 58 airports that offer commercial flights in Arizona, and the top five are Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), Tucson International Airport (TUS), Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport (IFP), Yuma International Airport (YUM), and Flagstaff Pulliam Airport (FLG).

Things to know when visiting Arizona

Here are a few things to keep in mind when travelling to a serviced apartment in Arizona.

Climate – Prepare yourself for any type of weather before visiting Arizona. Whatever season you go, you can count on getting messy while taking in the scenery. Most of the year, the trails are either muddy, snowy, or somewhere in between, with the exception in the summer, when you'll probably end up covered in a layer of dust. The state's centre has the harshest dust storms, and even when there are no storms, dust is present everywhere. The copper state has monsoon season from June through September. Therefore, during the scorching summers, plan on being hot, sticky, and damp rather frequently. Additionally, it doesn't rain often, but when it does, flash floods may occur quickly.

Slangs and Phrases – Before visiting Arizona, you should become familiar with some of the local lingo. Let's start with "swamp box," the term used in Arizona in place of "Air conditioner/cooler." Arizonans refer to this iconic natural beauty, popularly known as the Grand Canyon, as "The Big Ditch." If a local recommends you take "The Ten" when you ask for directions while driving, they mean the Interstate 10, the southernmost cross-country road in the American Interstate Highway System. While the rest of the country refers to these cool summer treats as "snow cones" or "shaved ice," Arizonans prefer the Spanish name "raspados."

Cacti of Arizona – Cacti, the plural form of cactus, are one of the unique features of the stunning Arizona landscape and can be found all across the state. Not only do the cacti contribute to the state's desert ecosystems, but they also play an important role in local cuisine. On menus all around the state, you'll see references to the cactus. Prickly pear, saguaro, cholla, and agave are the four most popular cacti used in cooking by restaurants and individuals alike. The only thing to bear in mind is that you must obtain a permission in order to harvest them as it is against the law to harm or remove a cactus in Arizona.
