How long does it take approximately to get from Gilbert/Main in Mesa to downtown Phoenix on the light rail?

About 1 hour

I'm a light rail operator. It takes about 1 hour to get to the downtown area, depending on the platform. 55 minutes if you're getting off at 3rd and Washington. Add 4 more minutes if you're going off at Van Buren and Central . We single track on Saturday - Thursday at 11 pm! So have a lot of patience for that. Better yet, don't be on the train in the 11 o'clock hour, particularly at 12 and Washington, or the other side at McDowell and Central. 😎

About 1 hr and 20 minutes
