Makes sense for AZ. It takes about 3hrs to drive from Queen Creek to Buckeye (that’s going east to west in Phoenix). And neither of those suburbs/towns have bus routes. Farthest east you can take the bus is Chandler/Mesa and the farthest west is Avondale, you’re still 30-45min away from Queen Creek and about 15 from Buckeye. The farthest north is Peoria which is still the inner city, not sure about south because no one goes to south Phoenix lmao (iykyk).

And it's hotter than hell in Phx. Even if you can take the bus, waiting for a bus when it's 110 is less than ideal, as is walking to or from the bus stop with groceries. I'm surprised Phoenix and all its suburbs weren't on this list, especially given how spread out everything is in Phx.
