The City of Tempe is buzzing with activity: construction lines roads, pedestrians cascade crosswalks, and you may have to dodge an e-scooter or two on local streets. Getting around is not always easy, but Tempe offers free public transit through the Orbit System, a series of smaller busses that connect neighborhoods to ASU, downtown, and other important parts of Tempe. However, these busses are prone to overcrowding and unpredictable timing. In this episode of State Press Play, podcaster Balin Overstolz-McNair talks to ASU students as well as Eric Iwersen, Tempe transit manager, and Sam Stevenson, senior transit planner, to uncover challenges related to the Orbits.
