The Downtown Phoenix Hub, also collectively known as Downtown Hub and City Hall, is a light rail station on the A Line and B Line of the Valley Metro Rail system in Phoenix, Arizona, United States. It is the western terminus of the A Line. This station comprises four platforms: the northbound platform on Central Avenue, the southbound on 1st Avenue, the eastbound platform on Jefferson Street, and the terminating westbound A Line platform on Washington Street. The station serves riders as a transfer between the A Line and B Line. The Washington/Central platform is only used for early-morning runs on the B Line. [2]
When opened in 2008, the two platforms at Jefferson/1st Avenue and Washington/Central Avenue were paired as the Downtown Phoenix station of the light rail starter system. When the South Central Extension opened on June 7, 2025, Valley Metro introduced a new two-line system with the A Line and the B Line with an expanded and rebuilt station. The A Line runs from the Downtown Hub to Gilbert Road/Main Street. The B Line runs from Metro Parkway to Baseline/Central Avenue. [3] [4] [5] The Washington/Central platform was relegated to use only during early mornings.
