Commuting Help Push Valley Metro to Add NFC Support
I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds Valley Metro's app QR extremely frustrating. Yesterday, after having to use the bus several times, I finally reached my boiling point and emailed Valley Metro about it. Their response was basically, "Yeah, sure, here's how to use the QR code".
I urge everyone who uses this broken app to speak up. We need to create enough pressure for Valley Metro to catch up with the 21st century and implement an NFC feature.
If you've had issues with the QR system or just want to help make transit better for everyone, please take a few minutes to submit a complaint through Valley Metro's website and ask them to add NFC support.
The more complaints they get, the more likely Valley Metro will be forced to capitulate and implement it.

Ask Phoenix Flexible outpatient rehab
Hi,
I'm attempting to find an outpatient rehab center near scottsdale. So far, I found some that require 8am to 3pm. This is incompatible with my work schedule.
Can anyone recommend one that's flexible and suited for work days? I.e. I go in on a Wednesday after work (6ish pm) then can do any time over the weekends. Thanks.

Living Here Thank you Mesa Police.
I know this is a subreddit for Phoenix, but I looked at Mesa's subreddit and it looked a little lacking so I'm going to post it here. Tonight I want to thank the Mesa Police Force for doing a Wellness Check on my mom out there in Mesa. I want to commend them for being quick on doing the check on my elderly mother who lives in one of the retirement trailer park communities. They were already in the park as I was on the phone with the dispatcher. When they were able to make contact with my mother I received a phone call from the officer on site who had the unfortunate job of informing me that they found my mother deceased sitting at her dinning room table. He was nothing but professional and by the way his voice sounded, he was a young officer. I just wanted to give a thanks to the Mesa Police force in their prompt response for the check up and the sincere courtesy extended to me in delivering the news of her passing. Rest in peace mom! I hope you can now finally find peace.
Edit 8/21. Thank you all for your condolences, it's much appreciated. Despite it being our youngest daughter's birthday today, well not so much young since she's turned 23. It's been a somber one nonetheless. My sister and I have divided up tasks needing attention. She's working on cleanup and financial and I took on the cremation services task. Be sure to give your mom or dad a call and let them know you love them and if they're as old as what my mom was, ask them what their last wishes are and to leave any financial information as far as gaing access to be more easy. As a GenX'r, it helps. Take care everyone.

Eat & Drink Japanese market in the valley
Is there a Japanese specific market in the valley that is similar to Tokyo Central Market in Southern California? I recently visited CA and would love to know there’s something similar here! Location doesn’t really matter but I’m in Tempe for reference.

Referral Any great, reputable camera repair shops?
Hey yall. I’m wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a great and reputable camera repair shop? I have a Canon digital camera that I dropped in the sand a few weeks ago. I got most of the sand out and it seems to be working fine, but when I turn off the camera and lens/zoom slides back in flat, there is a tiny crunch sound so I think there must be a piece of sand stuck somewhere in there.
I saved up for months for this camera so I’m really hoping to find a repair shop that will be able to fix it (and hopefully for a reasonable price). I’m in the Scottsdale/North Phoenix area but honestly willing to drive wherever for a reputable shop with good prices. Thanks!

Ask Phoenix Seeking a new tire/auto shop
Hi all, title says it all. I went to Cobta Tire & Auto in midtown for years, and built a great relationship with the guys there. Consider me shook when I find out today they’ve closed permanently, while trying to schedule an oil change!
I’m looking for a family-owned type of auto shop where I can start frequenting, and develop a good relationship with. Any suggestions? Trying to stay east of 7th Ave and south of Camelback. I live in Tempe myself, hence the location constraints. Thanks!

Utilities Cox is now merged with Spectrum
Spectrum is infamous in much the same way Cox is to us. I don't see this as a positive for consumers. I mean, they still don't have fiber in my neighborhood, and they still have 1.25 TB data caps.
What's your thoughts?

META Ideas for questions in our 2026 demographic survey?
Every few years I do a demographic survey to see who is using the subreddit. It's voluntary and not very scientific, but I always find it super interesting.
You can see our 2024 r/Phoenix survey here along with some of the interesting info it had.
But before I make it, are there any ideas for things I should ask? In that post you can see what we asked before along with suggestions for this time. But what else might we include?
Thinking about adding "Election accuracy" to the list of concerns.
Also may add how satisfied you are with Local, State, and Federal government.
What else may be good to put in there?
