The Downtown Phoenix Hub, frequently referred to as Downtown Hub or City Hall, functions as a major light rail transfer point within the Valley Metro Rail network, servicing both the A and B lines in Downtown Phoenix, Arizona. Positioned as the western endpoint of the A Line, this hub occupies the area enclosed by Central Avenue, 1st Avenue, Jefferson Street, and Washington Street. It comprises four distinct one-way platforms: the northbound B Line platform along Central Avenue, the southbound B Line platform on 1st Avenue, the eastbound A Line platform situated on Jefferson Street, and the terminating westbound A Line platform located on Washington Street. This layout enables efficient transfers between the two lines. Moreover, a fifth platform at the Washington/Central Avenue station, located just north of the hub, is designated for early morning northbound B Line services.
Initially inaugurated in 2008 with two platforms at Jefferson/1st Avenue and Washington/Central Avenue as components of the original light rail infrastructure, the hub underwent significant expansion and reconstruction coinciding with the commencement of the South Central Extension on June 7, 2025. The renovation added new platforms along Central Avenue, Jefferson Street, and Washington Street while incorporating the existing Jefferson/1st Avenue platform into the enlarged facility. The former Washington/Central Avenue platform now serves a limited function, primarily accommodating early morning operations.
The A Line provides direct service from Downtown Phoenix Hub to Gilbert Road/Main Street station, whereas the B Line extends between Metro Parkway station and Baseline/Central Avenue station. This dual-line configuration significantly boosts Valley Metro’s transit capacity within Phoenix’s central urban area.
